 Makes Upgrading your Laptop's hard drive as EZ as 1 2 3 October 21, 2008
I found that the EZ Upgrade kit is true to its name. I upgraded two laptops in less than an hour with no hitches. Everything worked in accordance with the simple, easy to read documentation. I just wish that all my computer purchases were this simple and straightforward to use.
 No not EZ October 17, 2008
I set this up to copy the hard drive on my laptop to a new hard drive. It took all night to do the copy then new the new drive wouldn't work. Now it won't recognize the drive at all. I tried calling tech support and was put on hold for 2 hours. So far this thing has been a headache. I'll try working on it for a few more hours before I return it.
HARD DRIVE October 9, 2008
The hard drive works great and the EZ Upgrade Kit made it a breeze to copy all my files from one drive to another. I would recommend this product it was very easy to use.
 Nice idea, but beware if you have a Dell with Media Direct! October 8, 2008

This is a great item that should have made upgrading my notebook's hard drive really easy. However, there is a known issue with this product on a Dell computer with Media Direct. I WISH THIS HAD BEEN NOTED IN THE DIRECTIONS! The problem can be avoided just by not copying one particular file. However, if you run through the whole installation without the extra steps you will get the blue screen of death and the upgrade doesn't work.
Once I called technical support, they sent me an email that explained how to fix the problem. It took me a lot of extra time to "fix" what I could have avoided in the first place.

In summary, this product did work, and I was able to use it to upgrade my hard drive. However, I wish I had been told before hand that it needed and extra step to work with my Dell computer.
Piece of cake October 7, 2008
It was very easy to replace my old 20Gb HDD with a new 120Gb drive.
For those of you who are not wireheads, let me suggest a couple of things before you buy anything:
1) Make sure you know what kind of hard drive you need to buy to replace the existing drive (e.g., SATA vs. EIDE, physical dimensions). It wouldn't hurt to look up the specs of the existing hard drive on the manufacturer's website so as to buy a compatible HDD.
2) Make sure you have your laptop manufacturer's instructions for replacing the hard drive in hand.
Good luck.
