Hi,

I am about to clone a new hard drive for my samsung nc10 netbook. I am considering 2 options, i.e. cloning or doing a full backup and then restore onto the new disc after swapping it in the netbook.

I would appreciate any help and advice specific to this, but my main reason for posting is because I would like to know if anyone knows how to make my external monitor work from the bios because I cannot see the bios, or when using the Acronis boot disc, I cannot see that either, except from the netbook monitor. I would much prefer the external monitor as it is easier for me to see, plus the netbook is situated on a shelf with the monitor of it closed. Does anyone know how to use my external monitor in this way ?

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure it is possible to use the monitor because typically this redirection is handled by the drivers within Windows...

Go the backup and restore way. Much less risk...

Do a full backup of your disk, all partitions included. Ideally, do the backup from the CD as this will help ensure you can restore it later. Validate the backup from the CD as well.

Print a screen capture of your disk management (Right click my computer > manage > storage > Disk management)

Change the disks.

Boot the computer on the Acronis CD. In tools, choose add new disk and delete any existing partition. You can create the partitions you want right there. Don't change the size of any hidden or recovery partition (if any). Place labels that make it easy for you to track them. Assign the letter C: to the right partition. If Windows 7 or Vista, leave an unallocated free space or 1024KB (1MB) before the first partition.

If your new disk is bigger than your previous one, restore one partition at a time. No need to reboot in between. Remember the drive letters on the CD will be different than in Windows. Look carefully at the size to recognize which is which.
Finally, restore the MBR, Track0 and disk signature.

That should work :-)

regarding the external monitor: for notebooks you can usually activate the external monitors by pressing some special function keys.

according to http://www.samsungnc10.co.uk/how-to-use-your-nc10-with-an-external-moni… this is for samsung nc10: To switch between different modes you just hit the ‘Function’ (Fn) key and F4 at the same time.

as far as i remember you'll have to change the display mode pretty early at boot time (at POST stage) - before the acronis loader kicks in. but you said your notebook lid is usually closed? so you're also using an external keyboard? those external keyboards don't usually have such notebook specific FN keys ..

here's what i usually do with my samsung X20 that's plugged into a docking station with external screen via DVI:
 - insert the CD
 - open the lid
 - power on the notebook
 - press the FN key to activate external monitor
 - close the lid
 - operate acronis product from bootable media

note: my ATI 2011 does not support that external screen when using the bootable rescue media. but i also have some older version of ATI that works just fine.
