Compaqs have a rep for stuff like that. Are you running XP? All bets are off if Vista is involved. I've installed xxclone on a number of client and friends' computers and never had a problem. It just came up and ran. Did you try pressing the disk management button to the right of the source and target slots? That brings up windows disk drive management package. What does it show? Is your C drive an NTFS volume that is showing healthy? Have you turned off any services, particularly windows shadow volume copy service? Some "optimization" websites recommend turning that service off but doing so disables just about every backup or clone package that runs in multi-user mode. Do you have any virus bloat-ware like Norton running? If so, it might be interfering with disk detection. I have the freebie Avast package on my machine and before that AVG (release 8 turned into bloatware so I had to change) running with no problems but given the amount of problems I've had in the past with Norton and MaCaffee, I'd be looking there. Have you tried since rebooting the machine? Kind of an obvious question but I had to ask. As a last resort, you might drop them a support note and ask if they've had any reported problems with your model computer. Maybe they'll have a patch or a work-around.
