| 1315145 | 2012-11-28 01:42:00 | OK good - do you have another hdd to put the image on to test it? ---- One thing you could check (usualy only with IDE not SATA) - but here's how to check anyway.... XP can knock the dma mode down to PIO if it's crashed a few times go to device manager (right click my comp - select properties - hardware tab) In device manager, click the + beside IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers to open the tree Right click on Primary IDE Channel and select Properties In Advanced Settings Tab - check Transfer Mode(s) are set to DMA if Available and NOT PIO Only do the same on Secondary IDE Channel |

| 1315146 | 2012-11-28 01:59:00 | I am sorry to change directions and please do correct me if I am wrong: 1] the checkdisk on the damaged hdd is on phase 5 2] I installed the new cloned drive into the laptop & it is booting fine. 3] I am now running a checkdisk on that on which is in a Windows 7 laptop |

| 1315147 | 2012-11-28 02:07:00 | would the fact that I clones a Toshiba drive to a Seagate drive & installed it into the Windows 7 laptop (Compaq Presario CQ60) cause problems? Would I be better off on a clean install? |

| 1315148 | 2012-11-28 02:18:00 | yep - different hardware I'd do a clean install It's a different machine than the one it was on when you were running it as a Operating System disc? you were running it as system disc weren't you? if it's only a data disc, you can image it from any make hdd to any other make hdd with no probs - and add it to any other system as a data (secondary) disc |

| 1315149 | 2012-11-28 02:23:00 | ok - many thanks for your help signing off to do the clean install |
