    Cloning drive problems

    Was hoping to come back with positive news. I shrunk the partition and Clonezilla is still saying the drive is too large to clone. Still showing 1tb and not the new size I shrunk it to. Was I supposed to do anything else after shrinking it in order for Clonezilla to recognize the new size...

    Cloning drive problems

    Yes, its a windows drive. Going to look into that now. Thank you! Edit: Would I have to reinstall the drive in the laptop or can this be done by installing it in my desktop?

    Ended up doing a fresh install of windows which seemed to have solved my problems. Everything "so far" is running very smoothly. Those drivers sure do dig deep sometimes. Thanks again for all the help guys.

    Lag after installing new VC XFX 7950

    Never had any problems before. Guess there is a first time for everything. Dont know the proper steps nor the program to use. I went on AMD's site and dl'ed the latest Win7 64 bit drivers. Those are the drivers I currently have installed. Thank you for taking the time to post though;)

    Lag after installing new VC XFX 7950

    I didn't use a program/cleaner to remove the old drivers. Just manually deleted as iv never had a problem doing it that way.
