Advice Cloning a SATI HDD - containing XP Vista as souce - to new - but using USB drive frames for each and Windows 7 on laptop?
My HDD - Windows XP Vista - just died - I had cloned it using Arconis 2010 just over a year ago - get Get_Pool_error and blue screen of death -
My question is this - (also I am willing to upgrade to Arconis True Image 2012 ) - but currently am a registered 2010 plus pack owner -
I am not sure that the issue that caused the HDD problem in fact is caused by the old HP pavilion 6000 laptop itself which by the way has two internal HDD's - in the past when I cloned I booted from the 'old C drive' in the drive 1 location in the laptop, removed the 'D' drive and put the new drive that was to be the clone in the location 2 in the laptop -
I am thinking that I might be better served by borrowing a friend's laptop that would have Windows 7 on it and dowloading and activation Arconis True Image 2012 on that machine and then use two SATI USB external drive frames, one having the 'old C drive ' i.e. source of clone and the other the new HDD to be the destination -
my thought is to be sure the 'original C drive' has the absolute minimal possibility of becomming corrupt as I have no HP Windows DVD - they did not come with them - and I have a lot of appications that are all set up and installed and authorized - and do not want to go through havign to install, etc...
would this approach - i.e. fairly new Dell running windows 7 - source of clone a USB mounted SATI drive with XP Vista, and source a new SATI drive in another USB external drive frame? be the best way to do it???
Then use ATI 2012 to clone?
Thank you - just really afraid to toast my only 'original C drive'
I do not have a ATI CD - I downloaded on-line -
also I can not run the XP Vista computer - get blue screen of death - even in SAFE MODE - Get_Pool_Header error quickly displayed and computer shuts off -
Or are you suggesting that I make an image of the 'original C Drive' - then clone from the image??
