Windows won't boot if any partition extends past 120 GB on 250 GBdrive

[Bill in Co.]

Explain why it's "overkill".

One can use it to backup single files, a group of files/directories,
whatever. And can then choose to restore those same files one at a
time, whatever.

OR one can run a full/incremental/differential backup to image and do
the same at will after the image is created.

All from within Windows.

In the case of a complete crash... boot to the CD, restore the entire
system.

VOILA.

Overkill?

Nope.

That's really good software.

There are lots of things and programs I try out on my computer, and
sometimes need to reverse, and it is MUCH more expedient to use ERUNT (or
sometimes System Restore), in such a case. MUCH! To solely rely on TI
Image for any changes you make, is analogous to using a sledge hammer to
pound a nail.

A couple of reasons. I like the professionally-boxed CD with its inserts,
and the professionally-labeled, and factory-made, CD.

I didn't ask you about your likes and dislikes. What do they have
with "prudent".

Again: you said "It's the most prudent way, though."

Why is it the "most prudent"?

I just explained it. The advantages of the above are intutively obvious.

But they have no relevance to the term "prudent".

You're all hot air and no substance. Can't even backup your own
statements.

Do you know what projection is, grasshopper? (it's a term from psychology)

Still didn't answer the question: "Why is it the "most prudent"?

To make it easier on you - WHY is downloading the software from
Acronis IMPRUDENT?

You can't answer.

Have you answered mine? (rhetorical)

Change your moniker to "Weasel in Co."

You lose.

 

[PD43]

That's $28 I don't have. I don't even have 1 dollar to spare.

Then take your chances with the freeware program... but don't come
here asking for help if you can't restore from it.

 

[Will Pittenger]

Cool it guys.

Have you answered mine? (rhetorical)

 

[Will Pittenger]

That's $28 I don't have. I don't even have 1 dollar to spare. Now if
you will donate $500 to my new computer...

 

[PD43]

Cool it guys.

WHY?

In my nearly 18 years online if there's ONE thing I've learned it's
that EVERYONE loves a good flame war.

Unfortunately, "Weasel in Co." makes statements that he's unwilling to
back up, so it's really not fun to play with him once that's been
established.

Ummm, Bubba, I asked you before, and you still haven't answered mine. So
who's the weasel? (hint: look within, grasshopper) Furthermore, I notice
you're too embarrassed to even leave it in here, which speaks volumes.

It's not fun to play with people who are *afraid* to answer the question,
either.

Since PD43 "seems" to be getting lost again, let me reclarify it for you:

Still didn't answer the question: "Why is it the "most prudent"?

To make it easier on you - WHY is downloading the software from
Acronis IMPRUDENT?

Have you answered my question YET??? (somewhat rhetorical)

 

[Ken Blake, MVP]

Cool it guys.

Ditto. I am getting very close to the point of killfiling them both. I
have neither the inclination nor the time to read personal spats.

Go for it bunky

 

[Will Pittenger]

Sure, it will create the partition, but then what. It would want me to
reboot and that would fail. I would then have to delete the partition.
Besides, if I create a new partition rather than expand the ones I
have, I will probably make it EXT3 and put Mandriva on there.

Can you use Windows 'Disk Management' to create a second partition from the
unused space?

The whole idea was to use your Disk Diagnostic software (SeaTools - has a
bootable version) to test the integrity of the hard disk.

I have been testing that. See the thread "What is going on with my hard
