I had a similar issue recently with Disk Director, which performs the same "analyzing partition x:" startup as ATI does. It took about 30-40...
nice demo, BTW. This kind of thing is exactly why I don't bother with anything other than full partition image backups. From the reports on...
I've been using TI11 for a year or so and for the way I use it (manual full imaging) it seems to be pretty reliable. I don't do scheduled backup,...
Holy crap, it just keeps getting harder and harder to do simple maintainance these days. And unless you spend a few hours a day on these types of...
Interesting. I have no idea what Media Direct is and don't have time to do a search right now, but could you explain to me what happens if he...
Not necessarily. If your backup .tib image is on an external USB HD, these have been known to act up occasionally and give a false corrupted...
Sounds like you just need that final push in the right direction, you have all the preparation covered. I don't see the screenshot with the...
good advice. I believe the Linux based version is the 'full version' on the rescue disk. If that version doesn't work there is also the 'safe...
You can recover anything, but you can't recover your C: drive while running ATI in Windows, because you will be writing over the code that's...
question 2: Using the recovery disk is the best way to restore your system partition. You can restore non-system partitions while the OS is...
The short answer to your question is no, but its more complicated than that. I'm not an expert on the subject, but I've used DD a fair amount,...
I looked into this a couple of years ago when considering a machine upgrade and from what I understand you're up against a limitation imposed by...
As I suggested earlier, spending a few bucks on a new hard drive rather than try to use one with known defects, would be the route I'd recommend....
1. Use an imaging tool or similar to save the recovery partition contents, you may want to use it later sometime. Also image the C partition...
As others have said, you MUST do some sort of restore operation at least ONCE to verify the flow actually works on your own machine. I...
Before you attempt this, are you aware of the Windows licensing issues involved with doing it? I'm no expert, but I looked into this topic a...
First of all, if you only have one physical drive you are better off not assigning the scratch disk to a separate partition on that same drive....
partitioning and virus protection Do viruses typically install themselves only on the system partition and registry, or do they often attack the...
Thanks for the info guys, I disabled it so if that was the cause it hopefully won't happen again next time. Seems like every time I use DD I...
I did a little partition moving and then copied some files over to the newly sized partition. Wanted to go into DD one last time (from Vista, not...
Thanks so much to both of you for the interesting tutorial, trying to figure all this stuff out on my own from the MSFT website would have been...
Re: OK now I know just enough to be dangerous Mark, I think we're saying the same thing regarding the meaning of {default},{current}, etc....
Re: OK now I know just enough to be dangerous I agree that {default} and {current} appear to be references to a Vista GUID, but what does that...
OK now I know just enough to be dangerous Here's a screenshot of my bcdedit /eval all showing just the sections relevant to booting. I have...
OK, thanks once again for taking the time to explain these things in such detail, I really appreciate it. The more I learn about the Vista boot...
