I own 2 notebooks and need to swap drives (or change computers with my wife). The smaller notebook (a Toshiba U200) has too small of a hard drive so I ordered a 200G 7500RPM drive for it. I need to load everything from my HP zd8000, a 17" with a 100G drive, onto the Toshiba. I purchased the drive and I have an external 2.5" enclosure to perform any data transfers before loading the drive. I am a bit unsure of the process from here on out. I know that the Toshiba has different drivers than the HP so I am unsure about how to do the exchange.

Brief summary: Transfer data from HP to fresh drive to install into a Toshiba laptop.

Help please.
