[Ham-Computers] Backup OS -- Thanks

Thu, 19 Dec 2002 15:56:38 -0600

To All,

Very sorry, first sentence to my previous post should have read...

Simply changing drives or making a drive a mirror image of your system drive
will NOT help to install your modem.

Apologize for the extra bandwidth taken.

Rolly,

Simply changing drives or making a drive a mirror image of your system drive
will help to install your modem.

It sounds like a typical issue with regards to modem drivers.  So unless you
have the need to have a duplicate system drive, like for backup purposes I
would not put much faith that your modem issue is going to be any better.

Sorry for the bad news.

Jim

Backup OS on CD

Thanks all for the response. So far the results are unanimous for Ghost.

How does one transfer from one hard drive to the other. Can one be a
master and the other a slave on the same hard drive interface?

This program interests me. I shall look into it more. Sounds like
exactly what I want.

I had one hard drive fail. I bought another and tried to reload all my
software. The major problem was getting the U.S. Robotics modem to
install. Thanks to Aaron Hsu and his patience it was finally installed.

The old hard drive was under warrantee, and was replaced. I now call it
the new hard drive. Again, in spite of following rather detailed
instructions that was used before, I cannot get the U.S. Robotics modem
to install.

So I have two hard drives that I would like to be identical. Since I
cannot get the modem to install on the new hard drive, I was looking for
an alternative method to get the complete system installed.

My goal is to have the two drives be mirror images so if any drive
failure occurs, I can recover faster. Hopefully the data on the other
drive would only be a few days old.

Again, thanks to all for your responses. Now does anybody know of a
mirroring program?
