The old drive doesn't have any issues that could be cloned over. It's performing perfectly, it's just making noise which is most likely a failing main bearing. A bad physical bearing isn't going to be cloned over to the new drive. I had previously tried Clonezilla with the same results...

Hi, I have a Compaq Presario CQ56 notebook computer. The computers is getting old but it has served me well over the years. I love the way I have my hard drive set up with Windows 10 operating system and all my applications software installed. Recently the hard drive has been making...

I did find this site that offers a free download that appears to be the correct chess program. But I'm not sure if this site is trustworthy? http://chess-titans.updatestar.com/en

It originally came in the games directory with Windows 7 which is what I upgraded from. But evidently when Windows 10 was installed that games directory no longer exists. I not only lost Chess Titans but all the other games that were in that games folder are also gone. But I don't really care...

Hi everyone. I just upgraded to Windows 10. After the upgrade I went to play a game of Chess using Chess Titans as I always do but it's no longer there. Anyone know where I can download Chess Titans? I did a search for it on the Internet and found a few places that promise to offer it as a...

UPDATE: Unfortunately it's not good news yet. I bought the Aukey and I've been using it as a disk docking station to back up a lot of data files. It works just fine for that and I really like having it for that purpose. Today, I finally go around to cloning the drive in my notebook...

I bought the Aukey. I'm going to give it a shot and see how it does. I have three notebook computers and I want to back up all of them with complete operating systems, etc. So I'll be cloning a lot of drives. I'm getting to the point where I have so much software on these computers I just...

Actually creating a template and opening it doesn't work even if I use the New Rich Text Document. The reason being that when I open the template it automatically reverts to the directory where the template was stored. So I'm right back to having to use the "Save As" command and navigating...

Yeah, but then I have to save it in the directory where I was working. And that requires that continually navigate back to the directory where I was working. I already there. Why should I have to navigate back to it again when I use the Save As, option? That's what I don't want to have to...

By the way, I just realized a way I can do this fairly easily. It's not quite as concise, but it's not bad. I can just create a New Rich Text Document as normal, and when I open that I can then just open my template from a very easy directory to navigate to. This is still more than just...

I work in directories all the time. So I'm always in Explorer working in a particular directory. If I use the NEW command in the directory it creates the new file in the directory where I'm working. If I do it the way you suggest I would need to leave Explorer, go to the desktop, open the...

When in Explorer I can right-click to open a pop-up window that allows me to select NEW and then from the pop-up list I can choose Rich Text Document. This all works just fine. But here's my question: Can I modify this command (or add a new one) so that it actually opens a very specific...

Thank Aldan, The drive I have is a Western Digital so I give their Acronis True Image software a shot. I like the fact that they also have a nice detailed instruction manual to go with it. Hopefully this will work. Those cloning stations sure look simple to use though. Just stick the drives...

I've been trying to clone my Windows 7 hard drive using Clonezilla. But I can't seem to create a bootable copy. I've been told to use other cloning software, but that software seems rather expensive. So instead I've been looking at these cloning/docking stations. They seem to actually be...

Thank you very much. That's all I needed to know. It's working just fine now. I had no clue until I asked.

Hi, I'm running Windows 7 on a Compaq Presario CQ57 Notebook computer. I just purchased a new 320GB SATA hard drive. I'm trying to connect the hard drive to the notebook computer using a BYTECC USB 2.0 DRIVE MATE adapter. The adapter seems to be working I've been using it on an older...

Could I do this the other way around? In other words, attach the new hard drive to the USB adapter and clone the old computer drive to it, then install it? Then it should just boot right up just like the old drive? The reason I'm asking is because my old drive failed in a similar...

Hi, I have a Compaq Presario CQ57 Laptop computer. It currently has a 250 GB hard drive. The drive is currently working and running just fine. But I would like to upgrade this computer with a new 500 GB drive. My question: Is there any way that I can create an image of my current...

I GOT IT! I actually downloaded Free Download Manager FDM. It downloaded the file the very first time. It still took 2.5 hours. But at least it got it 100% complete first try. Now I've got to burn it to disk and hope it works on the computer that needs it. One step at a time.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! SHOOT! I didn't have any luck at all last night. Today I got 2,619,392 KB downloaded again before it died. That is exactly the same place it died the last time I got that far. What about download management software? Is there any program I can download and use...
