I have a Toshiba Laptop thats about 2-3 years old running 10.6.3 quite flawlessly except a few minor things...I recently upgraded the laptops RAM from 1GB to 2GB. i now notice a significant performance improvement no matter what OS i am running. Anyways, the laptop also only has an 80GB hard drive... what a cramped space! and i was wondering if i could upgrade the hard drive (was thinking 250 GB or more) and keep all my applications, user settings, and kexts. is that possible with Osx86? i am running iATKOS S3 dual boot with windows 7 with i believe it is the Anval bootloader. Thank you. ^_^

(also, im having trouble getting the brightness control to work, its a x3100 graphics card with 2a02 device id. it worked when i accidentally installed the 2a12 patch (oops) but then QE/CI wouldn't work. any way to get brightness)?
