True Image - drive cloning - help

That would make more sense. I emailed their support last night with this question to confirm, and am waiting... Out of curiosity, what happens if one forgets to unplug the external harddrive after cloning, and then turns the computer off and then on (with the two duplicate bootable drives)...

True Image - drive cloning - help

I just downloaded the True Image v9 demo to try out. I want to clone my main hard drive to make a copy to keep off site. I want to KEEP my original main hard drive. In reading the manual, I'm not sure if cloning erases or destroys the "old" main hard drive. I am not trying to upgrade to a...

opinions on BounceBack Pro for backup program???

Has anyone used BounceBack Pro? I have had two hard drives fail in the last five years, and want to start a real backup system. 1. I want a program to automatically backup to an external harddrive. 2. I would like the backup to be a complete clone. Thus, if my main drive fails suddenly, I...

2 GB (2 pcs 1GB) DDR2 (533) PC-4200 Corsair $169now! (Free shipping)

I found this post and checked the current price... it's now $169, not $199. Is this now SMOKING? Also, hope this isn't a dumb question... I've got a DELL 9300 laptop on it's way. Does a laptop use the same memory stick as a desktop? Will these sticks work in both?

HELP - replacing hard drive with ghost, can't log on in xp

Phil, Thanks for the advise. I couldn't get Ghost to clone the drive as is. It stopped due to a file error, so I started over and chose "ignore errors". Ah hah! If I go the repair route, can I still later change my mind and stick back in the original drive? Would I then have two working...

HELP - replacing hard drive with ghost, can't log on in xp

I hope this is a "dumb" question with a simple answer... My main WD 80mb hard drive is making noise, so I want to replace it. I used Ghost 9 to copy / clone it to a new Seagate 120 drive. I then unhooked the old WD drive and hooked up the new Seagate drive. When I start the computer, I get...

Plextor 12X DVD+/-RW Drive $47.38 Shipped AR

Ditto here. The rebate form that say include the sales receipt/invoice with the date circled. Even though I ordered 9/29, my invoice says 10/4. Seems like a slam dunk to deny the rebate. I have read elsewhere that this is a standard Dell trick for denying rebates. Perhaps I'll call...

Plextor 12X DVD+/-RW Drive $47.38 Shipped AR

I ordered mine on 9/29. I got a ship notification and tracking number on 10/4. I kept checking the tracking number with DHL but nothing. Turns out it wasn't picked up by DHL until 10/6... I guess the question is does "purchase by" mean "order date" or "invoice or ship date"? I think if...

Plextor 12X DVD+/-RW Drive $47.38 Shipped AR

I ordered mine on 9/29, it is supposed to be delivered today. Has any one else received a 9/29 order with a post-dated 9/30 or worse invoice? Any thoughts? This is my first order with Dell, and if they pull this stunt on me, I think I'll call them up and say "pick it up"...

Plextor 12X DVD+/-RW Drive $47.38 Shipped AR

hmm.. $50 rebate form says multiple places that the bar code must be one of four numbers. You can order by model number, but not by bar code. How can one verify that dell is going to send a burner with the correct bar code? I've never seen this on any other rebate form, and it seems like a...

Plextor 12X DVD+/-RW Drive $47.38 Shipped AR

I just bought one. The order page no longer shows the rebate link, so I emailed dell that the rebate says purchase by 9/29, I ordered on 9/29, but they won't ship until 10/11 (and that is also when they say they will charge my card... so I asked dell if the rebate will still be valid. Their...

do I really need a case fan? best quiet fan?

I just ordered a Stealth fan online ($8 delivered!). I'll be curious to see the difference it makes. I wonder if I'll be complaining about the cpu and p/s fans next... Thanks for all the comments.
