| 1316712 | 2012-12-06 02:50:00 | Think I know how I ended up at cnet. Clonezilla site is also hard on the eye and confusing. cnet is the second donkey on the rank. And the link on the magazine story didn't work. cnet has a nice friendly logo and look, easy to use too. No reason to trust it though. Ta | shakoni (16135) | ||

| 1316716 | 2012-12-06 03:30:00 | Just did a reboot with the clonezilla bootable dvd in the drive - and it boots automatically, and whats more windows still works. All I got to do now is work out what hdd can fit (and be fully compatible) in my Sony Vaio VGN-CR23G/W (120GB SATA 5400rpm, 2MB Cache) and where to buy it - any help would be welcomed. Think I might cough up for an external enclosure too. Would the following be a winner? Seagate 500GB Momentus 2.5" SATA 7200.4 16MB Model: ST9500423AS Approx $110 It has "G-Force Protection™ technology can protect your data even if you drop your laptop" - postie proof! |

That only works when the drive is powered up - basically it detects via an accelerometer if the drive is falling through the air and parks the heads so when it hits the ground they don't smack into the platters or such. The drive will still be vulnerable to other forms of damage from getting jolted. If you want something that can withstand more knocks, get an SSD. However they are quite a bit more expensive. |
