New Hard disk and BackUp - Wake from sleep Problem
Hello,
i today changed my old Hitachi Deskstar 320GB hard disk for a faster 300GB Velociraptor. I formatted the new drive first in NTFS as usual and then put my Acronis True Image 2011 boot disk in and copied across the most recent ATI backup that i had on my "My Book" external drive to my new drive and booted up. All good (and fast) so far.
Everything is working as expected and i can already see a big difference in access times . BUT....
Now when i sleep my pc and then wake it back up , it takes around 40 seconds to wake up !! Before the drive change it was about 5 seconds. The computer reacts to me waking it and the fans go and i hear the hard drive spin etc but its like its waiting for the new hard disk to find the data to wake up and turn the monitor on ! I didnt change any SATA leads or any settings, it was a straight swap and same drive name C: Any ideas what could be causing the delay ? Thank you all.
I just used the recover disk option and chose my back up ticked restore MBR and Track 0 as usual .
The new drive is 20GB smaller , should i try clone instead of the restore option ??

Hello and thank you,
Unfortunately that didnt work either . I hear the new drive spin up, and then it goes quiet for 30 seconds or so and then loads the data and the computer wakes up. I dont know what else to try really. Would clone help ?

Managed to solve it !!!!
I had to uninstall the nforce SMBUS drivers etc and then reinstall. Now it all works fine.

I had to do a bit of thinking and remembered my motherboard was an Nvidia based board with Nforce SMBUS SATA and IDE drivers. I figured that maybe the new drive ( as it wasnt the same model or brand) might be rectified by uninistalling the SATA drivers etc inc in the Nforce package and reinstalling .
I tried it and it worked, the new hard disk came out of sleep in 5 seconds . I have now made a new image to reflect this with the new drive so that should be that . Thanks again though.
