You can find significant information by downloading Sandra sisoft.
If you enter your seral number at ---http://support.packardbell.com/
uk/---
hopefully the link will open more information.


As far as migrating information to a new hardrive.
I would buy a couple of 3.5 to 2.5 IDE converter from ebay for a few
dollars.
You can install your new and old Hd in a desktop then migrate the
information using the software
provided by the manufacturer.
This should migrate all partitions including the restore partition.
If this software is lacking than download a free copy of Acronis TRUE
Image.


You should have been given or have attached the serial number for your
Windows version on
the laptop.
Borrow a OS CD and use your information .
This is not illegal.

Now if you need specialized drivers .
They can be found at PB.

By the way is that the correct name of Laptop ED1.
