I redid it and verified it on Imageburn
although I checked to verify it after the
burning but nothing happened.

Look at your picture again. This one.

http://i67.tinypic.com/jsft6x.jpg

It has a "Clone this disk" under Actions, in the right pane.

As long as you can get that right pane to appear,
there should be a way.

I don't think I have too many copies of
Macrium 7.x here. I'm trying to think of a safe
place I can put one, without a domino effect.
(I try to keep versions in check, so my CDs
for them continue to work.)

When you burn with verify, the tray opens and
closes on its own, just before the verify starts.
This forces the drive to re-initialize and proves
the bits of the disc needed for recognition work
and so on.

Those pictures have the work "Verify" in the text,
so yes, it did verify, and yes, there were no
mismatches.

You have the option of using the Imgburn "Verify" tile
if you want to kick off a "Verify Only" operation.
You can verify the KRD.iso matches the CD contents
right now if you want - without doing a burn.
Verify is a read-only operation.

I've seen you write similar things before, which worry me slightly. The
Macrium5 mini-CDs I made on my XP machine (CDs plural as I made a 32-
and a 64-bit one) have worked on that XP machine, at least three Windows
7 machines (this 32 and two 64), and a Windows 10 machine. Can you
explain what you mean by "domino effect" [in this context], and
"continue to work"? (I sense you're not talking about CD-R bit-rot.)

If I put Macrium 7 on this machine, while Macrium 6 is on
the other machine, the Macrium 6 machine won't want to touch
the Macrium 7 backup. The 7 backup won't be open-able by my
6 CDs.

I have some amount of mis-alignment as it is. Say, one or two
copies of Macrium 5, lots of Macrium 6, no Macrium 7 to speak
of. The more versions, the more scenarios where I can't do something
when I want to . The more fooling around required.

To cycle all the OS drives through and update them, is a bit
of work. Not interested. Also not interested in changing
them when an opportunity presents itself (big mess of versions
floating around).

Since the feature set for a user of the free features,
isn't really changing, there's no good reason to upgrade.
Macrium 7 has removed IMGtoVHD capability, which I also use.
That's as good a reason to stick with version 6 as any.

Ah, you're talking about compatibility between versions; fair enough, I
wouldn't expect an earlier Macrium CD to necessarily be able to restore
from an image made with a later Macrium. (Though I'd be a bit
disappointed if things went the other way either, e. g. a Macrium 6 CD
not being able to use an M5-made image.)

I have some amount of mis-alignment as it is. Say, one or two
copies of Macrium 5, lots of Macrium 6, no Macrium 7 to speak
of. The more versions, the more scenarios where I can't do something
when I want to . The more fooling around required.


But - unless there _is_ backwards incompatibility - I can't see why
you'd ever use your M5 CD.

To cycle all the OS drives through and update them, is a bit
of work. Not interested. Also not interested in changing
them when an opportunity presents itself (big mess of versions
floating around).


Hmm. Not doing it for the sake of it, I can see; but I can't see a
_great_ amount of hassle in using a later version when you do an image
anyway, which I assume you do _fairly_ often (and I should do more often
too). [I take it that' what you mean by "when an opportunity presents
itself".]

Since the feature set for a user of the free features,
isn't really changing, there's no good reason to upgrade.


The only one I can think of that _I_ might be interested in is USB3
support; I have M6 stored somewhere, though haven't installed it to make
the CDs as I don't have anything USB3 yet anyway (apart from a memory
stick which is too small to store an image and I wouldn't on a USB stick
anyway).

Macrium 7 has removed IMGtoVHD capability, which I also use.
That's as good a reason to stick with version 6 as any.

I saw that but I'm following your instructions
you gave me and step 1 it should say Disk Image not
Backup. However if you say it's OK I'll give it
a try.

It turns out I had (2) spare HD's set up
for the 8500. I put the second back in the
box and had the other in the external case
which is the one I used.

So I still have one spare 2TB HD for the 8500.

You mean Firefox ?

Tools : Options : Main

Home page: about:blank

That should have been preserved when you cloned.

All should be, as it was before.

I decided to do a HDTune scan of the new drive:

http://i66.tinypic.com/r0w12a.jpg

http://i63.tinypic.com/6scu8o.jpg

It still shows nothing! Now whats going
on here? The S.M.A.R.T. should be working.

Thoughts/suggestions?

It was,.. I was actually logged on
as Admin and didn't bother to do it
on that account since I rarely go there
except for disk mgt. etc.

I set the Admin Account on the 780 so
that the home page is blank and thought
I would do the same to the 8500 but when
I tried it didn't take and I tried it
several times.

I must be doing something wrong.

But I wouldn't bank on that, John. But maybe Paul has tried it out, though.
And I make this comment in regards to any backup software, including
Acronis, which is what I'm using (I have and use two old versions). So I
don't think there is a guarantee in compatibilities here.
