Can't be too careful there. Just did some cloning. My streaming files disk was too large to clone to my ourboard drive so I just bought another larger drive that would handle it. Things don't often change on that drive so I don't need to update it often.

 

Setting up new HDD's is so stressful. Especially with Windows 7.

It seems that once you install it, it never ever really goes away if you decide you want to wipe the drive out and do a complete reinstall.

The last version of Acronis I bought allows you to restore to a different brand/size HDD. I've never had to use that function yet, but it sounds sweet if it works. Prior to the version I bought several years ago, you could do that.

Well

Picked up the 2TB Barracuda and Ill be &^$%%$.  
Cannot get it to load from the disk I made when I first got the computer.
It will show it initially extracting Windows, then will quit and go to sleep.

Lost and hate to pay BestBuy to do it-They are Crooks when it comes to this.

Well for what ever reason after fumbling it decided to work this morning.

I believe before I do anything else, Im going to pick up a second 2 TB Barracuda and going to get it installed for storage of WAVs files as well.  

Got alot of help from upstairs
