Thanks Rick, perhaps I should invest in a copy of Acronis and save your 
instructions. Have a good one!

This is all done on the scale of a home user, at home
I cloned my Laptop to a different drive last week to stick in Win7
as a direct upgrade from Vista as a test. (Used 64bit, but can't use
ANY on my old printers or scanners... No drivers.)

I've been doing this so long (successfully) I have to think real hard
about what I do that makes it work, or more importantly, what
I did at first that always (mostly) caused it to fail. I think you never
progressed to that next level... grin...

This is my general rules/overview:
I ALWAYS start by booting from a CD version of Acronis TrueImage.
(I do NOT believe in this shadow copy or delta changes BS...
AND it is not important if I go off-line with the machine for as
long as it takes...)

I ALWAYS do a FULL SPINDLE IMAGE. ALL partitions, the MBR,
track Zero, the partition tables, etc... Acronis makes that very easy.
I re-size the partitions as a different operation later, with Acronis 
Disk Director10.
(The newer versions of ATI will do this as a one-operation multi-step 
deal,

but why change something that works for me at this late date?)

IF a Laptop, I write the IMAGE file to a USB HD since I only have
one physical HD in the Laptop at a time.
(HP/Compaq tells me it is normal to break the Recovery Partition 
information

on my HP/Compaq Laptops.) Likely since I do NOT do bit-for-bit forensic
images/clones/copies.)

IF a desktop, I may or may not to a direct clone, following all of the 
above rules.


When done, I pull the old drive out and put the new one in the exact
electrical place of the old one BEFORE THE FIRST BOOT.
I might add it back later as a slave or data only drive.

Hope that makes sense and helps...

I do these almost in my sleep. Sorry if it is still not clear...

Re: [H] WD TV LIVE HD Media Player With Network Connection Announced

2009-10-18 Thread Brian Weeden
Looks sweet but I still think there is a need for a full-fledged HTPC, if
only to serve as the storage unit.  I can't see easily hooking up 5 TB worth
of external drives to this thing to store all my media.  And media storage
is one of the primary functions of my HTPC.

Now, I could easily see a little box like this going on the upstairs TV.

[H] Dead PC, Help...

2009-10-18 Thread swzaske
I just installed a Phenom II X2 545 in my game box that I bought from 
Ebay and it was working fine until I made a change in the BIOS setting 
ACC to Hybrid and Auto then rebooted and it just died. Am I right to 
assume that if the CPU, memory, or video card died it would still power 
up just not POST? I strongly suspect my PSU because it has a flaky 
on/off switch so I just leave it on all the time and use the front power 
button to shut down if necessary. I'm kinda bummed right now...

Yeah and if that doesn't work I'll put my spare PSU in it and see if 
that works. I didn't overclock it or anything and temps were fine but 
when I first got this RMA PSU from a former dead OCZ unit it stopped 
working like this when I flipped the switch on it. I kept flipping and 
it finally fired back up. I've just not touched it since and it's been 
fine until today. Thanks for the suggestions just wish somebody would 
verify that the fans and lights would come on if a single component went 
dead except the mobo of course.
