I've always cloned to the second bay in the Thinkpad with the drive bay
adapter.
Easy as pie.
This always works except when it doesn't.

Using some external hard drive adapters will cause geometry failures,
though the exact cause is beyond my capacity of understanding.
The Thinkpad branded USB external hard drive bays will function well.

Subject: [Thinkpad] drive cloning
I just got a new Fujistu 500gb drive to replace a failing 320gb drive in
my x61s. I used Acronis Home to clone the drive via a USB enclosure.
When I put the new drive into the computer and started up, the bios
found it, but then nothing happened. All I got was a cursor blinking in
the upper left corner after the bios startup and bios security sign-on.
I tried using the rescue function of a Windows install CD, but it
couldn't see the new drive.
The new drive seems to otherwise work. When I boot with the old drive
and put the new drive in the USB enclosure, I can see all the files.
I have the feeling I'm missing something obvious. Any suggestions?
