Hi again drlucky,
I’m glad to report that the cloning process worked just fine on the HDD. The laptop recognised the HDD and there was power through the special connector to run it.
The only part of the cloning that didn’t work entirely as hoped was that a piece of software on the original laptop that required a dongle version of the licence will, for now, only work in demo mode, but that’s enough till I can get to the dongle to make the change complete. I didn’t even have to format the HDD, but guess that must have been part of the process as there’s no longer any sign of the original XP installation.
Thanks again,
Ian
