Thanks for the reply--the pdfs were very handy. The old imac also shows the titles messed up grrr... I'll need to fix the div scroll thing. Thanks again. Emlyn

I can't run os x tiger on my silly imac. Anyone see any obvious bugs on this site in Explorer/Safari/etc.? www.ixwa.com Everything seems to work fine on PC browsers. Any input would be much appreciated! Emlyn ixwa Creative Services

Yep, I'll use a different product next time! Thanks for the info. Emlyn

Garebo: I have posted my HD info twice--see earlier postings :) Freestone: OK, so the only thing I didn't do was to create a same-sized partition BEFORE doing the clone, otherwise I did exactly what you did. Do you think it's because the boot HD aboslutely MUST be primary master, even with...

Siiiigh... even the simplest things seem to be elusive. Well, I did find some sort of BIOS version (in the BIOS, not the startup screen) which said: BIOS VERSION: AO4 I rarely ever see the startup screen that includes the system info unless I'm doing an ALT-CTRL-DLT thing (I think??). Got a...

Except for setting up the HDs as primary master and slave, and setting anything in the BIOS (all this would have been set to AUTO anyway and all HDs are set to Cable Select), I basically followed every step of what your friend is suggesting. But what has me REALLY confused is that he recommends...

garebo, per your last note about what HDClone does when cloning from a smaller drive to a larger drive, I got this from the miray.de website (they make HDClone): "When buying a new larger disk, HDClone copies the data for you, you only have to add the gained space on the disk via some...

garebo: I did go to Maxtor to get the settings, but not knowing what I really needed, all I got was the model number and some other spec data (bytes per sector, logical CHS...). Is there something *specific* I should be looking for about the maxtor HD that I need to enter in the BIOS...

Ugh, I know. Doing it all over again is certainly a possibility, but right now I just have so much work to do that I can't afford to not have a working PC. I think when I have some down time I might try all this again...

Actually it works just fine, but the problem (yet another one) is that the new cloned hard drive is basically STUCK where I replaced the other one--for some reason the Dell brackets were a VERY snug fit and >>>believe me<<< there's no way to get this thing out: I've tried! lol In fact, the...

Hey Garebo and Freestone--thanks to you both for putting in so much time on this issue. This is very new territory for me so I appreciate it. As long as nothing we do damages or erases the data that was cloned from the old drive I'm prepared to try stuff. The HD info: Maxtor model # 6Y080P0...

I just don't see it. I've been through every page of every section in the BIOS and the only one that relates to IDE has no additional options after setting to AUTO. There are two or three options below that allow for setting various MODES but certainly nothing where I can actually enter stuff...

I did try that user setting in the BIOS, but it didn't give me anyplace to "plug in the numbers". I looked in some of the other settings that became available when I changed it to user mode, but I didn't see anything relating to specifics about hard drives. The only option available to me was...

In IDE setup it gave me options like these (from what I remember): None User Auto Atapi Non-Atapi (I think??) Other ...soething like that, but it certainly didn't give me any additional window with detection options... The Dell system I'm on is a Dimension 4400, 2Ghz, 1Gb RAM, XP home. I can...
