So you can download and use Seagate's version of Acronis.

Yes.

Acronis is a very mature tool, and should work fine for you.  I'm surprised
to hear of problems. (Though often with ThinkPads problems can develop if a
drive is formatted outside of the machine; the safest approach is to use a
non-clone backup program like Windows or Lenovo backup, then a fresh disk
install using the Thinkpad utility disk, and then restore the old backup.)

Thinkpad utility disk?

Is that a generic Thinkpad cd?

I do have the recovery cd which uses the restore partition but of course that will
not be present on the new hard drive to use.
