    Clone to smaller SSD

    As I stated, the cloning process seemed to run flawlessly. Before I capitulated, I stuck in a Windows 7 64-bit Recovery disk, and whatever it did, the SSD is now working fine. The full volume wasn't showing, so I went into Disk Management and extended the volume and assigned a new drive letter...

    Clone to smaller SSD

    Clonezilla is out. I can't even Run it. Says application was unable to start correctctly (0c0000022). Every time. So is there no real solution? I hate to spend money to find out that something like Paragon doesn't work either, especially now that the new SSD is loaded with files from yesterday's...

    Crucial. The drive came with nothing else.

    Clone to smaller SSD

    So, I have to clone it all over again? Fantastic! That is great news! And spend money? Doubly great! And the hard drive is already polluted with data? Couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

    Clone to smaller SSD

    So, went ahead and "saved myself the trouble and just used Macrium Reflect Free through the GUI". I selected the OS Partition to clone it to the SSD. Cloning performed flawlessly. No issues. Finished in about 1.5 hours. Put the SSD in the laptop - wouldn't boot. Should've known it couldn't...

    Clone to smaller SSD

    Clonezilla says "The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one. ". Does that mean it can take everything from my 100GB partition, which contains Windows and program files, and clone it to a 240GB SSD? Even though the laptop HD is 500GB overall?

    Clone to smaller SSD

    I have a partitioned laptop hard drive I want to move over to an SSD. The current drive is partitioned. I want to clone the 100GB partition (overall drive is 500GB) to a 240GB SSD. Is there a way to do this and what software should I use? Thanks.

    Replace fried board

    My burned out PSU took the mobo with it. Need something identical or as close to it. It was a Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H. Thanks.

    Dead machine

    Since the electrical layout hasn't changed in 7 years, I'm inclined to think that isn't what is happening. I guess the only thing to try is to get another mobo. Is there some way to at least isolate the PSU to see if the fans go on?

    Dead machine

    Found out the burning smell in the house was the PC. Took it apart and it seemed like the PSU was what was burning. No other apparent damage. Got an older PSU and put it and the machine fired right up. The burned up PSU was 700W while the replacement was 500W. Figured all was well but the next...

    How many firewalls?

    If I have 6 machines on a wired network connected to either the primary router or switch, does every machine need to be firewalled? It seems that whenever there are problems in the network, I find that the firewall has somehow reactivated itself and all order is restored once I disable the...

    Home Network Configuration

    I have been reading conflicting instructions from the web such as: "Check the second router's IP address value and reset it if necessary to work within the valid address range of the first router (and to not conflict with any other device on the network)" This seems to contradict what was...

    Home Network Configuration

    I connected the old router to my computer and changed the setting for DHCP to off. Now anything connected to that router cannot get internet connectivity. Once the old router is connected to the new router, I have no way of changing any settings on the old router. I also cannot get two Windows 7...

    Home Network Configuration

    Don't have a switch and want to use the items that I currently have on hand. Can the second router be used as a switch? Wireless will be used for the blu-ray player, for aesthetics and the fact there is no room. This blu-ray has internal wireless so there is no need for one of those wireless...
