Is there any difference to the NTFS partition between the two methods? Also, this might be an opportunity to upgrade the disk. I have a ThinkPad E520 and I put in a larger drive years ago. Just get an external drive case to put the old drive in. Then the contents can be easily copied to the new drive. When that's done, the old drive can be used as another external drive. My ThinkPad hasn't been converted to UEFI yet, as I don't have the need, but my desktop has. I will convert the ThinkPad if I get a larger (SSD?) drive for it -- The linux-thinkpad mailing list home page is at: http://mailman.linux-thinkpad.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-thinkpad
