Ok, Now I am getting a bit perturbed using ATI. I backed up an image on to my slave drive before the master went. Now I bought a usb enclosure to house it in, and connected it to my home computer and it showed all the files and folders, but no tib image, which I know is in there for plugging it into my studio computer while booting up with the rescue media.

Something is drastically going wrong here in the usage of ATI. On the usb external drive I made, it shows most of my files and folders. On my studio computer there is no OS, that is what I am trying to accomplish, restore the tib file to a new hard drive I am getting this weekend, but now I am a bit worried.

So, please assist me with this project. Here is what I have and what I want to do. I have a home computer which works fine and has ATI Home 11 on it, from which I made a rescue boot disk,etc. On my studio computer in the cellar, there are no more hard drives installed on it, as the master died and I took the slave out which had the backup on it and put it in the usb enclosure. Now, I did see the tib image on a recovery archive area when I booted up the rescue disk with the slave drive on the SATA port, so I know it is there. However, when I plug in the usb external drive (slave drive) to the home computer, it doesn't show any tib files, just the recording and rendering folders.

So, what to I have to do to refind the tib files....and if I do, how I can I restore them to the new hard drive I am getting from the tib file, hopefully found on the usb enclosure holding my slave drive with the backup. I talked with a tech guy at breakfast and he said there is something going on that can't be explained, unless the home computer is using Vista and the studio computer is using XP, which is found on the backup stored on the slave drive. I will stop here and let you digest my renderings, OK, there must be a way to get this accomplished, thanks, DR

Ok, time to apologise, as what was causing all these problems, was the WD disk was dynamic somehow. I have no idea how that happened, in fact, I didn't even know what that was, so I had to go in to Disk Management and import it, and it even showed my new external usb drive made from the slave one. Working with computers seems to me, like working on a car that needs the computer to tell them what is wrong, and they keep trying to fix it but the code keeps coming up. I guess I am going to try and make the disk a regular one somehow, as I have already saved all the data to my home computer. Back to the drawing boards, can see why it is difficult to help someone when you keep encountering these side issues, DR
