O.T. Slow Start-up

giving me the 8500 as the source (top)

That's why I say it seems backwards

The source should be the WD (top) and the
destination should bethe 8500 (bottom)

Robert

It's displaying the characteristics of the source
image in the top pane.

And make sure you scroll when searching for the
destination drive. The drive you actually want,
could be further down.

Paul

I hope this works

I just somehow got it with the
K on top and 8500 on bottom and
all the numbers matched

so I clicked next and seems ok
saying the following drives will
be overwritten

C:\ OPS
D;\ Recovery

Sounds *wrong*

Doesn't your 8500 have a label on the
C: drive ? There's got to be something
there you can use to verify it.

Paul

Yes it was wrong,, before selecting
destination partition it showed the K:
as source,.. so I then somehow got it
so that the K was on top(source) and the C:
(destination) and the numbers matched,..
so after checking everything to make sure
I clicked next

Everything seems ok so far,, 51% complete

And you have the Explorer icon in the lower left
corner. You can "explore" the drives currently
connected, to jog your memory. The Exploring
function is not a full explorer - you cannot
do copying down there or repair work. It's mainly
for looking around.

Paul

It worked !@#!

I'm still on the 780 as it updates
Avast but it connected with no problem

I'll probably have a number of Updates
as well but all look good.

Many Thanks for staying with me on
this and helping me resolve the problem.

I'd feel better knowing the root cause.

I hate surprises :-)

Paul

Agreed but we tried a number of
things and nothing pointed to
anything which might be suspicious.

Robert

I just finished with the updates and
thought it might be a good thing to
create a new Mrimg.

However I thought you might like to
see this:

Well I saved the files I wanted to
the Patriot Key and guess what,..
all my recent work wasn't there.It's
gone!@! great,.. whats the point of
copying if it doesn't copy?

I can't believe I lost all my work. It
copied everything else though.

Robert

Finally found them,.. whew !!!!!!!!!!

Let me tell you, that was a big relief.

There is Photorec and Recuva if it's really lost.

Paul

Just wanted you to know that
everything is working good and
all seems normal.

I don't know if this is related or not but
I have my screen saver disabled yet when I'm
away for a period of time the screen goes black.
It does respond when I move the mouse when I
return but the screen is usually always on.

I checked the screen saver settings and it's
still disabled so I don;t know why it's blacking
out the screen.

You should see a neurologist.

The screen is blacking out, not the operator :-)
