Well I just upgraded my PS3's stock 60gb HDD to plump 250gb one, the installation was simple just plug&play. So now I got a spare 60gig HDD just lying around so I'm thinking of putting it into my laptop and use it as a backup disk since my current backup HDD is a measly 10gb. So what I'm...

Well its not new. I got it in Feb 06 but there is no disk. It has a recovery image on the HD but what happens if, no when my HD goes bad?

Step by step tutorial. Took me about 6 minutes. Installs from a flash drive tend to take about 75% of the time it takes with a DVD. On my C2Q Q6600 it meant 20 mins instead of 29. This is for those who are having issues with running from a DVD, or just want to try it out/get it done faster...
