Default O.T. Macrium


I have a Dell XPS 8500, with Windows 7
Professional, SP1, with Spywareblaster,
Malwarebytes, Avast, Windows Defender,
and Windows Firewall.

(1) TB HD
Intel (R) Core (tm) I7-33-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz
RAM 12.0 GB
System type: 64-bit operating system

I also have

a Dell Opiplex 780 tower with Windows 7
professional, SP1, with Spywareblaster,
Malwarebytes, Avast, Windows Defender
and Windows Firewall.

(1) TB HD
Intel (R) Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz
4 GB RAM, 750 GB HD
System type: 64-bit operating system


external hard drives:

Seagate backup pls (1) TB 2.5 USB portable HD

WD Black series WD2003FZEX 2 TB 7200
RPM 64 MB Cache SATA 6.0- Gb/s 3.5"
Internal hard drive.


This concerns the 780; When I started to do my
monthly backup Macrium gave me a pop-up that
Macrium 7 was availble.

However, after I downloaded it I still
gives the same message? I restarted the
computer but it still pops up?

I just checked and the 8500 has it too
but I'm not going to do anything yet
until I understand why the update isn't
taking on the 780.

Did the old Macrium not work right?

Well it did but aren't we suppose
to using the latest versions?

Although Macrium was fine when finished
I could not safely remove the USB connection
and had to re-start the computer to remove it.

IMO, updating is a personal preference.
I rarely update software unless there are problems with the old one.
For HDD imaging and cloning I always power down before unplugging the usb.
For other data transfers I just wait until the blinking stops and then unplug.
Many of the updates fix obscure items that most of us will never encounter.
Other updates just add bloatware and eye candy.

I just tried to do my monthly backups on the 8500
this time but it's not recognizing the HD? However, I'm
able to safely remove the USB connection, so what gives?


Thanks,
Robert
