The BCD FAQ document cleared up some of my questions, and its starting to make more sense to me now, but I have a few basic questions remaining....
Mark, Thanks again for all the information, its been a big help in understanding all the underlying hazards. Jeez, on my XP machine I just...
Wow, there's a lot more to this than I first expected, but I'm interested in learning. I'm gonna have to re-read that link you provided a few...
I don't know how to post a screenshot. I don't know how to convert the DD window into something that could be attached. I think I know how to...
It must just be weird behavior on DD's part then, jeez that's confidence inspiring. My partition table looks pretty much like yours, since all...
My first partition is a primary, although not the bootable, partition. I show 7.844MB as unallocated at the start of the drive, so that number...
Wow, thanks for the lengthy reply, that clears up every question I had. I went in and resized that partition anyway, before reading your reply,...
I've been messing around with repartitioning on a new laptop running Vista Home Premium w/o SP1. As I mentioned in other posts, I haven't been...
Re: a few more details Mudcrab, thanks for the Vista repair answers, I think that confirms how I expected it to work. To answer a few of...
a few more details I was a little vague in my original post, so let me clarify a few things. I was resizing the system partition (smaller), so...
I've done a few resizings on a Vista laptop and DD seems to cause something weird to happen each time I reboot after the resizing, but the net...
I checked the HD and found no errors at all (took about 2 hours to run chkdsk). That's pretty much what I expected to find. Regarding the...
Imaging onto the same drive is not a good backup strategy anyway, so no problem with that decision. Yes, that's the most logical imaging...
I did not run chkdsk on the partition. The weird part is all the archives I had available except that one (about 6-8 more of them) all verify OK,...
I recently tried to do a recovery (from rescue disk) and TI immediately flagged the archive as corrupt. Fortunately the one from the prior week...
I'm curious, wouldn't it be a lot easier to just backup to a hard drive rather than have to deal with multiple DVD burning every time you want to...
I had run chkdsk earlier and all was OK. But, just prior to this latest resizing I had defragged that partition and imaged it. I didn't run...
resizing follow-up after using boot disk I tried to resize the C: partition again, this time using the boot disk. In full mode it couldn't...
Machine is a laptop running Vista Home Premium I had a large partition that I resized using the Vista utility, from 138GB down to 96GB. That's...
My opinion is the image I save with ATI can recover the disk once it fails, so why not just wait for it to fail and then do the recovery?? I made...
As long as your CD/DVD drive is in the boot sequence you can just leave the BIOS unchanged, unless you want to take it out of the sequence after...
restore successful I bought a new drive, partitioned it, and restored the old C: drive to the new disk without any problems using the recovery...
I have a copy of Partition Magic 8.0 that I've had for about a year and never used. So that gives you an idea how much I really need disk...
I agree 100%, and would actually prefer that approach, but there's one problem. The computer I'm running on now is an old low-end machine without...
some follow-up Thought about this a little more and I think I'm starting to visualize the process a bit better. But I still have a couple more...
