WD has a version of Acronis for free to use. Does Acronis have a bootable system Image? I'm still trying to pick an external hd. Leaning towards WD because of the free software. I'll look at the Macrium. It really has to be simple so I can explain to the young lady how to use it. Thanks

What software are you using for backups and or system image??

I will look into getting an external drive. I would like to put the system image on it so as time goes on if needed I won't have to install all her programs along with windows. I just need to make an image once in awhile to keep current. Along with the image I would keep her pictures, documents...

Was hoping someone might have done this before and offer some info on trying it. Hate to spend money on something that might not work. Thanks, Butch

I feel the raid1 will protect against hd failure and a system image and regular backups will keep everything in a safe place. Let me try and explain. When I first put the system together for the lady I just used Raid1. Well sure as hell one drive failed but the raid1 kept me in the game with...

Hello, I am using a new Asus M5A97 R2.0 MB and would like to setup a raid1 using two 1TB drives from WD. After win7 64bit is up and running can I put a different size HD on the board and create a system image and backup. I would like to use the WD Acronis supplied software from WD. Thank you...

There is no windows installed

No because killdisk pro is dos. Boots before windows loads. and its to late the disk is zeroed with 80h and allocated showing.

So would anyone know why win7 creates all those partitions?

Looks like this after win 7 install 80h unallocated system reserve (1 :) local disk (2 :) unallocated looks like this after zeros written to disk 80h unallocated

No I'm afraid not. But those are not suppose to be smiley faces they should be : )

Hello and Merry Christmas to all! I am wiping a hard drive using Killdisk Pro. After the 1TB disk is cleared to zeros and the disk is refreshed I show 80h and unallocated. Ctrl+S shows zeros on both of them. Why is there both the 80hn and unallocated? My next question is after I install...

A very old Compaq Presario 2104US. Its not worth it to put to much money into it but some time costs me nothing. All else fails maybe I'll stick the MB in the oven and try to reflow the joints myself. All the parts on the web are used. So I'd be taking some chances there. Thanks for...

I have a laptop that as soon as you left click the touchpad to type it just starts sending 7 across the field. I have removed the keyboard and it still does it. So I ruled out stickey key. Plugged in USB motherboard and same problem. Any ideas?? Thanks, Butch

Anyone running 12 Gigs of ram on an Asus P6T Deluxe V2?? Is the use of more than 6Gigs needed when photo editing?

I have no idea cause it is not my laptop. My friend said there was an overheating issue that wouldn't let the laptop boot. I cleaned the lint and put some artic silver under the cooler and it boots fine but stops at that error. Could the overheating caused XP to screw up and need a reinstall??
