From what you're saying, I gather the following applies... 1) a BartPE Boot-CD is basically a customized Boot-CD that has device drivers for...
I hesitated on asking this last night because I figured you guys would post more, and I didn't want to interfere with the flow. But I see now it's...
True indeed. DVD's will last forever if you take care of them. But however, I don't plan on keeping a TI Backup Image file till the year 2025. The...
No Problem!:D Sounds like you're headed in the right direction because of the way you asked very specific questions. A good tip to remember...
1. Although you have an 80gb Internal HD, how much data is on it? A 120gb should be fine, but the bigger you get, the more Data you can put on it....
You can get TY's from www.rima.com very cheap. I would get the 8x DVD+R (T02). I've got to ask this though. Why would you want to use DVD's??...
1. Good choice. You want to go with an External over DVD's. I use the 80gb Passport strictly for TI Full Images. My other Externals for other...
...and how does this relate to this user trying to purchase TI from South Africa? :wacko: Phillip, Email TI, and explain your situation. They...
My opinion is ....ATI is the Only thing you need. At first, you may have a couple obstacles, but when you get'em squashed...it's very reliable.
I see your point; but however, there are people out there that literally have Never run "Chkdsk", and "Defrag" on their HD. Really meant for this...
Write down your Key, and keep it put up....so you don't have to call Microsoft everytime you want to Reinstall XP. ;) As far as the Acronis...
1. I would rather Restore an Image than "Clone". 2. I've tested Acronis on my Spare HD many times. Also, I've tested to 3 other HD's as well....
Doing this should be no problem. Go into the BIOS, and make sure BOTH HD's are turned ON. Then boot the computer. Dell computers will...
If you run "Chkdsk", and then "Defrag" (5 or 6 times) right before you actually make your Backup Images, then it will probably take less time.
This is the Dis-Advantage of using DVD's. You'll either have to "Disc Span" using Regular DVD's, or use "Dual Layer" ...which are very expensive....
At the moment, Vista is not supported as an OS. BUT HOWEVER, I'm pretty sure you can make a Backup of your HD (with Vista on it)...by using the...
I'm glad to see you got all this squashed, and it all worked for you. ;D ;D :thumb: Now, are you ready for something else?? :gack: What...
I've wondered the same thing!:-\ Seems like doing this would create unreliable backups. What's one more gonna hurt? LOL! I mean,, people already...
Do you have "Software" related "Bad Sectors"?? Or, do you have "Physical" Bad Sectors? There is a big difference. I think "Chkdsk" only checks for...
Yep, any computer you get from Dell, or any other vendor(HP, Sony, etc),...will have all that crap on it. It's nice if you're a novice user, but...
I wasn't suggesting that you couldn't put an OS on a USB External. I know people do this, but however, data is being tranferred through a USB...
I personally like Dell. I'd get this BEAST!! http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1710?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn
Problems most people have are not related to using a External USB 2.0 HD. In fact,... most folks on here will strongly recommend you use an...
Mal_t, It sounds you have a software related bad sector, and not an actual "Physical" bad sector. If it's software related, then don't worry...
