I think it worked. Only time will tell.

trying to create rescue media and it's asking for 142.6 MB DL from microsoft. It's also asking for PE zip file in the background.......just found a rescue iso file for winxp 32-bit......will try burning this ISO and see if this fixes it upon reboot. Am I on the right track?

Can someone please tell me if this is what I'm supposed to do and, if so, how? "Macrium Reflect Windows PE Rescue Tools and selected the Macrium menu item "Repair Boot Problems" and accepted all of the defaults" Thank you.

I'm sure it's something very simple like the tables didn't get cloned or something. Also, it keeps telling me that update 7.3.6391 is available, but do I really want to do that? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. EDIT: decided to go ahead and create images of my partitions with MR to...

Almost there..........found out some interesting things today. My Active Disk Image program that I was using to backup my partitions for about 8-10 years is not able to restore the images because the restore program was a demo (even though I paid for the program way back when). I was able to...

Not in the biz, but it seems like you're worried a little about Device 1 and it doesn't match the stats of your 3rd one that well. Logically then, keep Device Y.

Either going to use Active Disk Image to restore images or Macrium to clone partitions, then in either of the first two cases will use MiniTool Partition Wizard to expand each image/clone to full extent of each partition. Hopefully, this works tonight.

I finished backing up last night; Acronis True Image (free with WD HD) won't even install in WinXP and will not work from another computer on my local network at home. Might have to install Macrium and see what happens.

Clone Disk won't let you set sizes of partition. Looks like restore image or try that Macrium Reflect thing. Any advice?

Active Disk Image does have a Clone Disk to do the whole drive at once, but it deletes all partitions before running on whole disk and does not tell you if you can set the sizes for each partition or not. I'm guessing you cannot. After checking this, it looks like I can also try Clone Disk for...

While I'm backing up data, I was wondering about something. If I create a disk image of each partition (including C) using Active Disk Image 3.2.6, then why couldn't I restore each image to one of the newly-partitioned 2TB HDs. In theory, it sounds like this could work. Any reason why it...

I guess soon is a relative term...LOL. In the process of backing up my data and will probably do this tomorrow. I have 5 partitions and the first one is the system (C: drive). I was going to just copy the other 4 over to the new drive once I partitioned it into larger partitions, but there's...

Haven't ordered drives yet, but this will be done very soon.

It's chilling for a few days now. Anyone know what the problem was? Thank you.

Still working fine, but blinks orange sometimes. At 98% and everything working fine. Just curious why the blinking orange? Does it not like the new battery? Should I just ignore it if everything working fine? EDIT: just to clarify, it's the battery light on front of laptop on edge (not in...
