I bought it in 2002 when I got the laptop and haven't had to use it since with all the updates coming in from the i'net. I'm still looking though. I do still have the original Hard Drive with the working XP on it, maybe I can put it back and do something pre the clone or image? Thanks

To my surprise XP loaded from the external version. No choosing just went straight to it in preference to the cloned one on the C drive in the laptop. I am able to see the C drive and all the others now and was wondering if there was anything I could do now that i have this access. Is there a file I can add to the cloned version on the C drive? There is obviously something missing in the cloned one for it to choose the other external over it, correct? rock

I imaged the CD drive partition with the XP Pro on it only. Yes I'll try the Bios first then, may do another image to see if that one works. I am choosing the option that gives me the USB drives etc. I'd try a clone however it will only clone the full drive and not the partition and I am going from 1 2 partition old drive to a 3 partition larger drive which already has gobs of stuff on it. I have TI 10, so I guess it is not the program, either me or a gremlin somewhere. Trouble is, it is so time consuming at a time when I need it like a hole in the head. Your help is gratefully received, thank you again. rock |
