I have a Dell XPS 400, recently the HDD (samsung 250gb)went bad ( has unrecoverable data errors ). I bought a new Seagate Barricuda 500gb and a external USB HD case. I used the OS disc dell sent with the system, but it didn't have any drivers for some of the hardware. I used the external HD to get the network card driver, so I have net access to download the others hopefully. My question is: If I use cloning software to copy everything to my new HDD, will it corrupt my new one? Sounds like a dumb question, but the thought had crossed my mind and I figuered I might ask here and see if any of the computer geniouses could help me. Any input is much appreciated!
