Hi folks, I have a Thinkpad T61 with Ubuntu 10.04 installed and configured to my taste; and it have been working perfect for more than two years. I recently bought a W520 with SSD, and want to have the exact system on it, but want to have windows 7 as dual system for gaming. Here is what I want to do: replace the SSD on W520 with the T61 HD (500G 7200RPM), and put the SSD in the ultrabay.
I am wondering:
1. Does the system on W520 work by simply putting a HD with preinstalled ubuntu on it? I want to avoid a fresh install, which will cost lots of efforts since I have a lot of data on the HD.
2. Moving the SSD installed with windows 7 to ultrabay, can I configure the ubunbu to have a dual boot menu?

Thanks for helping out!
