Hi,

1. I backed up my Seagate win8 "C" partition, using Paragon, in the spare Maxtor HD & it used 61.9GB, the rest 50gb are free space.

As Win8 was installed in "C" I presumed that The Maxtor if installed alone in the PC it would boot up but, it does not. Should't it?

2. The other thing is that when I boot the PC in w8 both HDs show up in the Setup but, the Maxtor does not show up in the w8 win explorer.

If I boot up in the dual boot XP they both show up in the XP win explorer. ....thanx ....nick :confused:

1. I changed to EaseUS & cloned my Maxtor with "C" from my win 8 PC again but, Maxtor refuses to boot.

It probably needs complete PC clone to boot but, unfortunately my Maxtor is only 160gb & could try the clone only for C.

2. I Maxtor shows up in w8 now after I used "diskmgmt.m" & gave it a Letter K ....nick
