Yes, I went with Macrium Reflect Pro. It was not as automatic as implied but it worked. After restoring the image and selecting ReDeploy I did not get the screen to add or change driver, if it doesn't see it it doesn't let you change it. I had placed the drivers on the flash drive with Macrium...

Yes, thanks. I did notice that it was the paid version that comes with their ReDeploy program and it specifically states that one of it's uses is to restore to a RAID volume from a non-RAID volume and vice versa. And it does this by attempting to locate the correct driver to install on the...

Macrium Reflect didn't list 8.1 in their supported OS list but from their forums it appears it does. I'll try it out.

No idea what MR is or stands for. Please explain? It's not a problem getting files from the current boot drive, I can easily toss it in an external enclosure and get at anything in it. Why I can't do is fix the registry settings for installed software. I'm currently looking into Symantec's...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I pretty much assume I will need to reinstall Windows on the boot drive and what I'd like to avoid is the days and I mean literally days to re-install software. So, I think I need something that will backup and restore programs as well as files if that exists...

Thanks for the reply but I don't think Clonezilla will work any differently from System Image unless I missed something in the description. It appears that Clonezilla will recreate the original partition type as well which is the problem. I have a perfectly good image as well as the actual boot...

Hi all, I recently got myself into a quandary. I installed 4 additional drives with the intent of creating a RAID volume that's supported by the BIOS. In order to do that I must change the BIOS setting for the controller which includes all volumes including my boot drive (which I don't intend...

There is evidence to support that partitioning a large drive into smaller partitions will improve performance as long as you guarantee you are only accessing 1 partition at a time. The reason for this is the "average seek time", which is typically the time it takes to seek across the entire...

You want opinions? I've got lots! :) If you intend to run the same software you're currently using, the system specs are clearly better. As for the 2 TB hard drive, you can choose to partition it or not but I would highly advise against putting a backup on one of the partitions. If/when your...

Just thought I'd mention after another reboot, it went back to lo-res but changing the msconfig setting has fixed it permanently.

That's it! msconfig. I had tried many things to get the old "Safe Mode" in order to get the i7's built in graphics to talk to the monitor, I'd lost track. I've been away from the computer for a few days but what is very odd is that when I powered it on today to try msconfig, it booted to a 4K...

Thanks for the reply. The drivers are installed. It doesn't matter which method I use, changing screen resolution from a right click on the screen or using the nVidia Control Panel from Windows Control Panel, it reboots in low res. I was hoping someone knew how to get to the config screen where...

Hello all. I installed Windows 8 Pro on a new PC. I ran into a problem where Windows automatically started at the wrong monitor timing. I temporarily used a TV to get to an advanced startup screen that had a check box for low-resolution. That allowed it to work with my display. I now have a...
