Can someone help me with my toshiba satellite x205-s7483 hard drive upgrade?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"Are you looking at the contents of the drive via an Ubuntu Live session" yes
"What operating system is installed on the drive you are trying to boot from" vista 32 bit
"Did you make an image of your old drive" no i did not change any thing on the old drive still have it and it still boots but its full only 1.2 gigs free space.
If you've been using that Vista installation for a long time, you might be better off just backing up your files, doing a fresh install of Vista on the new drive, then adding your data back into your new installation. You would have to reinstall all your software, but you would have a fresh, faster system, which is nice...
Were there seperate OS and data partitions?
What options are you referring to?
witch of the 4 options should i do for bootrec.exe
unfortunately this is a friends laptop so reinstalling isnt a option really. normally don't have a problem doing this but this one is fighting all the way. i got it to the point now where it boots from the cd it looks like but just has the flashing _ in the top left.
OK, I might be a little out of my element as I was not aware that you could clone a partition with a Windows installation using gparted...so there may be some other issues.
First, do you have a Vista installation disc? If so, boot from the installation disc (if not, you may have to create a recovery disc from a partition) Click "repair your computer." Select the OS to be repaired (if it shows it). Then click "next." Select "command prompt" in "system recovery options." Type: bootrec.exe
Reboot.
Try that. Let me know the results. Hopefully someone will chime in here with better info...
