Have the old hard disks read with use of laser and copied into new larger

CAUTION:  New hard disks must have the same hardware characteristics as the 
old ones to prevent OS malfunction ( special tailor-made hard disks ?? ).

This is totally nonsensical.  You can't have the "same hardware characteristics"
and "larger capacity" at the same time.

How do you think governments read stolen laptops?? With laser ofcourse!

Actually, if you've stolen a laptop, it's usually easier to just take the disk 
and
plug it into another machine and read it with the normal mechanisms.

And if you're doing data recovery because you were silly enough to steal a 
laptop
that had a physically broken disk drive, the usual hardware is magnetic-based
rather than laser-based.

This is even less IETF-relevant than your previous postings.  Please read
the following two documents before posting to this list again:
