To completely rule out hardware compatibility issues with the new drive I decided to try installing a W2K test installation from the CD. I first used DISKPART from the recovery console on the CD to...

Just for fun I ran DISKPART from the recovery console. It shows the HD as 131070MB which is wrong. However it lists all 3 partitions as the approximate correct size. However, it shows all partitions...

I think that the NTLDR was a fluke cause by BIOS boot issues and non-optimum Boot.ini settings based on drive swapping, etc. I am now overriding BIOS boot settings via F8 and catching the Boot.ini...

... Another step backwards and perhaps another clue. This project was shelved a while back and I don't remember how I partitioned the new drive. I probably used Paragon but not sure. Thinking that...

Hello,

I have an older dual boot 2K / XP dual hard drive system that I use as an emergency backup. It also has hardware peripherals that are no longer supported on newer PCs. The existing drives...

Yes, I would like to do this but the target PC doesn't allow booting from flash so I am stuck with a CD.

So doesn't it require the same WIM/WAIK files to make flash RK as CD?

Hello,

I am trying to make a 32-bit restore CD using an old XP box. So I downloaded the WAIK (all 1.4 GB!) and pointed RMB to that file location but it still, like U2, couldn't find what it was...

Past my bed time... Forgot to thank everyone for their efforts and help in finally getting this resolved. Once again proving that 3 heads are better than 1!

Continued to try to figure out why connection of the new hard drive would cause the existing hard drive not to boot...

The processor heatsink has been upgraded/replaced. Thinking about John's "hardware incompatibility" theory I decided to run some more tests and simplify the problem.

1. I verified that the...

This is good to know. new information in the next post

Sorry for my delayed response but I had a bit of a hardware issue. The hard drive cage with the drives in it fell into the case and onto the processor breaking the cheap plastic clamp that holds the...

I have been looking through the manual and the settings in the program itself. There are 2 settings which look like they might be relevant...

1. Partition alignment - defaults to Vista. I think...

A dual boot setup really is not that uncommon. The bigger issue is that Paragon BR is billed as a drive imaging program. By definition this should mean *exact* copies and *identical* restores. We...

Holiday season should be over soon. Maybe they will come back then!




Please see attached files. Drive 0 appears to be accessible from XP.

I have been doing a little research on the 2K boot issue. It appears that the 0x78 "Inaccessible Boot Device" BSOD is somewhat common in many windows versions. I am sure that Paragon has probably...

Both boot choices are now on the menu -
2K - Same boot issue BSOD 0x78 Stop.
XP - After running CHKDSK a couple of times and a boot loop or two actually booted and appears to be alive!

I am trying to avoid running the failing disk as much as possible. It has already done the "click-of-death" dance once before. Better to learn now than when you really need to restore!

Here is some more information...

I wanted to see if the new restored drives and partitions were visible on the target PC. After several failures I finally figured out how to make x32 BIOS recovery...

This sounds like a Paragon design issue...

MBR backup should restore to MBR.
UEFI backup should restore to UEFI.

It shouldn't matter what machine is doing the backup or restoring. Anything...

Well... Not so much... Apparently with a Dual Boot MBR system like this.

I first installed the old drives again to check the drive letter assignments. I didn't remember if I had made any permanent...

I looked at the manual and your video and it looks like I should do the individual partition restore one at a time and set partition sizes at each restore.

However, both drives are bootable as...

Paragon has too many programs with two letter abbreviations! I was thinking BR14 anyway! Thanks for the videos. If it rains as much as predicted in the next few days I should have time to give this a...

I am assuming that you are saying that I will need one of these programs. Yes, I was planning on using Paragon to backup the Win 7 PC as well. Based on this should I use PM14Free or PM16free?
