Thanks, Kolo, that is pretty much what I was afraid of. I figured the BIOS deal was motherboard related, and I don't see how that could be...
OK, so having been a bad boy and not having done a new disk image in a long time, I found myself needing to do a system restore. I think it had...
I also have some questions about MBR but will start a new thread so as not to hijack. Bill
Thanks, Ken. That info looks useful and I will look further into it. Bill
Yes, that will be the real test: the restore! ;) Good luck, and let us know! Bill
Re: hal.dll missing AGAIN (mainly FOR BRIAN) Hello Brian, hopefully you will see this when you get back from the Australian wilds. Most of this...
Hi Armand, Unfortunately I don't have any expert input to offer you. As you probably have already perceived I am only in the question asking...
Brian, I had made so many disk images trying to get one to work that I was starting to get a little low on room on my external drive. So I...
Nope, I did not know that. It sounds like I need to know, however. I'm not quite sure what an ISO is, other than some kind of image. Speaking...
Fresh image
Well now the mystery is pretty well complete, but not solved. Guess what? I just now restored the Seagate from the recovery disk and external...
Correct.
Thanks Bill, much luck seems to be needed! I seem to have a missing post on this thread. I would have sworn I saw it here last night after I...
Ah, yes, the old USB problems. In the meantime I have managed to restore an image of a PATA WD drive to a SATA2 WD drive by way of external USB...
Right, there is also the hobby/learning aspect of it. I keep swearing that my next computer will be a homebuilt job. Not only am I lacking a an XP...
Yes, that is correct. I did exactly that. I'm taking a small break before further attempting to image/restore the Seagate, which was the original...
Yes, that is a darn good question, with no good answer. The only excuse I have is that I'm trying to avoid the reinstalling of all of my old...
I thought it was very apt. I just just saying you might be onto something with your "Bingo", and maybe I better start looking into that...
Well guys, I am having to type this as my family administers full CPR on me, due to the shock of what just happened. I restored the image of my...
Wow, that is interesting! I finally succeeded at a restore, by restoring from my external hard drive to an older PATA. This restore booted right...
Okay, Brian -- thanks for that tip -- I won't bother with restoring just C: drive. Maybe I will try to the Sata drive. Like you said, just for...
Chris, I was indeed planning to rest on my laurels for a little while.LOL. But really, I was just going to kind of take a break while I...
Brian, when I made the image of the 40 GB Western Digital, I imaged the entire hard drive, which included the C: and the recovery partition. So...
I have to go to the hospital now to deal with the injuries I just sustained from falling out of my chair when after the restoration, and after the...
Your Bingo! Maybe correct, and I can only hope so. Although it's going to mean having to pull the control card out and see if new egg will...
