I think I might give that tool a try then. Download just finished. Since I already have my external HDD formatted and bootable which options should I use? I just want to make sure I don't screw something up
Hmmmm it would be that simple for other people lol. It is telling me "Compatible devices not found". Could it be because the external HDD is already formatted? EDIT: Or should I use "Fixed detection mode"?
Thank you Mr. Tito! Trying it now. Does it normally take a while? In the "Making the request" window it has the source but the destination field is empty (even though I selected the drive and it's verified in the main box) and the "source progress" box is empty.
hmmm. It's been a good 10 minutes with nothing showing up in the "source progress" yet but it still says "copying files" underneath next to status. Is this normal? Just need to know if I should restart it.
It was administrator. Should have known lol. Done and off to boot up the notebook. Hopefully see you guys soon from there!
thanks! Got it installed and up and running. Now to update drivers and dl some updates. Still no sound/optical but I'm hoping a magical driver will fix that.
correct. x86. Had an issue where the optical drive disappeared after a Microsoft update and then the audio disappeared after another. Not fun.
u making progress, very good. let win7 create a restore point so you have a good back up point before you go further;
