What kind of 2.5" HD adapter do I need?
Hello,
I decided to replace HD in my laptop. It is HP Pavilion DV2000. I need some kind of adapter to connect it to my desktop (my desktop have SATA and IDE drives) to clone the old HD to a new one. It says my disk is SATA Serial - but I see it is not regular SATA adapter. Here are pictures of my HD: http://www.evkosystems.kgbinternet.c...s/HP-test1.jpg http://www.evkosystems.kgbinternet.c...s/HP-test3.jpg http://www.evkosystems.kgbinternet.c...s/HP-test4.jpg Any idea what kind adapter do I need? Thanks, Zalek |

The DRIVE is a standard SATA drive. However I think you have some kind
of interface adapter present on the drive to mate it to the laptop. Remove the interface adapter. wrote: Hello, I decided to replace HD in my laptop. It is HP Pavilion DV2000.

Thanks, Zalek Can you not network your laptop and desktop with an ethernet cable?[1] You can then use Ghost (or equivalent) to make an image of the laptop's old HD on the desktop - then replace the HD and and clone the image onto the new one. That's whet I did when I upgraded my laptop's HD. [You'll need to create a bootable system on a floppy (or other bootable media recognised by the laptop's BIOS) containing PC-DOS, Ghost.exe and support for a network connection]. [1] If it's a direct connection, you'll need a crossover cable but it goes via a hub or wired router, you won't. -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..

What version of Ghost are you running that runs under DOS? As all later versions runs under Windows or Windows PE (aka BartPE or WinPE) and are known as Ghost32. Does Ghost for DOS understand NTFS formats? -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Windows XP SP3 |

Does Ghost for DOS understand NTFS formats? I'm running Norton Ghost 2003 - and, yes, it understands NTFS. You can run some functions under Windows, but have to resort to a version running from a bootable DOS device to make an image of a system disk [1]. If you back up to another machine over a network, the other machine can be running Windows. [I'm not quite sure how you would clone a *live* Windows system, 'cos you'd be aiming at a moving target!] [1] You create the bootable system from within the Windows version, specifiying what support you need for USB, Firewire or network devices so that it includes the required drivers. -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..

Oh so you have both Ghost.exe and Ghost32.exe with Ghost 2003, right? The trick to clone a live Windows is sometimes done through Windows VSS (services). Sometimes third party backup programs use their own version of the service. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Copy I have used many different backup programs like Acronis True Image and Paragon. And when they work, they work well. But they don't work in all conditions especially when restoring. Ghost is the only one that has worked under all conditions so far. The only time Ghost messed up for me was for Linux. But that could have been my fault for not cloning all partitions. I don't recall which version of Ghost started to need .NET2, but it was somewhere around 2003 I believe. But Ghost.exe and Ghost32.exe don't obviously. ;-) -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Windows XP SP3 |

Does Ghost for DOS understand NTFS formats? Ghost2003 runs on freedos form a bootable CD, and does a fine job of making an image copy of an ntfs OS drive. |

Can't find Ghost32.exe per se in the Ghost folder in Program Files - although there are lots of .exe files whose names start with Ghost - like GhostStart.exe - and there's a file called gdisk32.exe -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..
