I'm with you. I check my navel every evening in the shower. That's often enough. Off to better threads.
Do you have another good hard drive that you can try making an image of your failing drive to? If you get errors during imaging, you may be able...
Try booting from the TI rescue CD and doing the cloning from that environment. Be sure to remove the second drive before trying to boot into Windows.
Bien fait! But as I've run out of French, you might also remind him to boot from the Rescue CD and confirm that he can see all his hard drives...
I am shocked! Having read many, many of your posts, I think this is the first time you've ever missed anything. The sky is falling! The sky is...
You are being very polite. The progress bars are utter nonsense. :)
Hi Grover, His old disk died, so he can't clone. He's restoring a backup on his USB drive to the new disk in the Lenovo, so that should work. Right?
As DwnNdrty noted, you would have been better off with Universal Restore. What operating system is installed by the restored image? XP or...
I don't think there is any danger as long as you use the Full version of the Rescue CD which is Linux as you noted. Of course, you could scan...
After you completed the restore to the new drive from your external USB drive, what happened? Did the system reboot to a blank screen, report...
I love happy endings. :) You've really stuck to it to get there, but it may pay off if you ever need to restore again. Just remember to...
If you can create a TI 2009 Trial rescue CD, it may have the network drivers to see the remote drive. However, copying the backup to a USB...
Here's a personal opinion. If this were my computer, I'd make an image of the entire hard drive (all the partitions) to the external drive....
I'm glad your experiment was successful. Doing restores is a great learning tool. In the Acronis neighborhood, an image is a copy of a full...
Yes, I was rude. You are making "philosophy" out of what is simple technology that has been known for years and years. Any reading on the...
How's this for simplification. 1. Make an image of the entire hard drive (all partitions). Now, you could restore that if things go wrong....
That's absolutely right. Whoa! Stop! That's incorrect. If you make an image of an entire drive (not just the C: partition if there are any...
My guess is that the problem is the SATA optical drive. Since TI 11 is the only version that ever boots, but it boots only part of the time, that...
True Image is exactly the software that you want, but you seem fixated on cloning which isn't what you should be interested in. An image backup...
In that case, look at the old CD and see if it was scratched. The new CD should be identical, so there's no reason for both not to work. Check...
Yes, TI 10 didn't have as much SATA support as later version, so TI 2009 can see the SATA hard drives if not the USB and network drives. Not...
I'm still confused by your comment that the rescue media worked before. When did you boot from the CD and have it work? Did you install the...
The first thing I'd do is disconnect the hub and plug the drives into USB ports on the REAR of the computer. Hubs can have some odd results...
If you read the WD message about their backup, it says it backs up all your DATA. It doesn't backup your Windows or programs. It wouldn't make a...
Separate names with a comma.
