Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2005 00:01:03 +1000 From: Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Please Help Me With New Hard Drive Install C drive tends to get affected when you do something like this: 1: Install new hard drive in same computer as old hard drive 2: Boot off old hard drive into Windows (so Windows sees the new hard drive) 3: Reboot and ghost old hard drive to new hard drive 4: Remove old hard drive, boot off new hard drive The problem is the Windows registry now has a mapping between the new hard drive's unique ID number and its drive letter. In extreme cases, this can mean Windows can't find its swap file and will refuse to let you log in properly. The worst thing is, even if you manage to boot back off the old hard drive, Windows won't let you assign the existing C drive to anything else (so you can reassign the new hard drive to C) because it's the drive Windows is sitting on. This has happened to me twice already ... the only way to fix this is to go into the registry and edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices , swapping the DOSDevices letters of C drive and the drive you want to become C, before ghosting. *sigh* once again, this is one of those things where I can understand why Microsoft did it this way but I can't understand why Microsoft made it so hard to recover from problems with respect to this ... - Raymond At 12:06 AM 29/03/2005 -0800, you wrote: Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2005 00:05:13 -0800 (PST) From: Matt Hanson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Please Help Me With New Hard Drive Install --- Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Are you *SURE* your C drive is actually C drive?

Can't help there. So you dont use nothing of BIOS Power Management ... only Windows power management correct ? Whats diference in BIOS setup: BOOT, HIBERNATION, RESUME modes ? Whats RESET HOLE in right side of librettos do ? The hole provides access to the reboot switch. When the system freezes and won't shut down, press a pen into the hole to activate the reset switch. Sometimes it even works! ;-P (Windows is problematic with this at times) Something like CTRL ALT DEL ? : - P I'm not clear on the BIOS settings for BOOT, HIBERNATION, RESUME. All I know is that hibernation puts the system into a full power down where data for the booted session is written to the hard drive. The system can then wake up to the same condition it was in before hibernating. Resume only writes the data to RAM, and doesn't power the system down totally. Just what those BIOS settings do I'm not sure of. But I'd assume they would do bassically what I outlined above. But when I let any of these options I dont see diferences... The libs continue going to hibernation when I presse POWER button, and going to Suspend to RAM when I close the LCD panel... And in no one of theses I get BIOS hibernation again (animation in screen of laptop coping datas to discs or vice versa when resuming).. only windwos hibernation (the messagens entering in suspend to disc apears in a window in windows so.. turn off..
