Stan,
I'd like to take back any/all bad sends to/against you in the past.
Too late, I know.
I think that you and I are now Brothers-In-Arms-of-a-type marching
forward into whatever we get. We seem to be very vocal on both sides
of the fence. Perhaps there will continue this spirited discussion in
the future.
Sorry. I get testy sometimes!
Imaging? Still learning.........have questions?
Backups? Still trying what I have....in XP.....?
Thanks,
Duncan

I know most on the list support disk imagers to back up data but that
never worked for me worth a darn. And my attempts at backup solutions
go all the way back to the old tape drives and they never worked
worth a darn either. The best solution I've ever found is to
duplicate my data across multiple hardrives (and a thumb drive as
well) on multiple boxes. Best solution yet if you're not backing up
your entire DVD collection. I don't have that much hardrive space. :-)

I was having a pretty good vacation until this morning.
Both computers running, one's a P35, the other P45 system. Power
Outage. By the time it took me to get through to UI, the power came
back on. P45 system booted fine. Boot Disk Fail on the P35 (Abit
MB). In between my wife sending me out on all kinds of errands (it
amazes me how the wife can instinctively know when I'm doing
something important and supplant that with the trivial), I start a
reinstall of windows to fix the boot record (somehow the repair
option was not there or do I misremember?) and bang, another power
outage. Again the power comes right back in five minutes. I
restart the reinstall, get it to boot and , despite the fact that I
now have 3 entries on boot, I get the old system back...except...the
data drive is missing. Boot-up detection does and doesn't detect
the drive, it gives a blank listing, rather than none. Of course the
OS does not see the drive. Blank entry in BIOS with all zeros.
Tried reseating cables, new cable, moving drive to other computer,
same result. Drive seems to be fried. It was the storage for all
my program files (which I can eventually replace) and all my photos,
of which I think maybe half are backed up. I have other drives that
I've been religiously backing up, that one was one of my least
concerns. Of 6 HDs, the only one that goes is the one with stuff I
cannot replace...sheesh.
So Tim Lider, please contact me offlist.
Thanks...Steve
