hi chaps...i have two Hdd's (both IDE) in my rig ones and hitatchi and the other a seagate. i get a loud clunk once a day from one of them be the computer idle or doing something. Usually when idle. So im gonna order a big Samsung spinpoint (Sata as my board is compatable) but i know i need to use "true image" to copy my hdds across...but A) will the registry all go with it?? and B) will i have to stick with how my current drives are partition? Cheers guys
 
Could well be a thermal or some sort of calibration clunk you're hearing, run the manufacturers diagnostic on them as well. I've got a WD 80gb drive thats done that a few times a day since day 1 and thats a few good years now.
 
If you use TrueImage, everything in the partition you're copying will be transfered, including the registry. The partitions can be resized to your requirements.

I would take the clunk as a warning, and get my important files backed up immediately.

Best wishes,

Michael
 
Thanks mate!, can i just also ask. When my new drive comes on weds, when i install it, should i open it up as one large partition or do i not "activate" in in windows disk management? Will true image see the drive if its not allocated in disk management first?
 
I'm pretty sure you can just plug the drive in and TrueImage should see it, but if this doesn't work, you just sort it in the Disk Manager as you suggest (no need to partition it though).

I'm guessing you're new to TrueImage, but I think you'll find it a breeze when you get stuck in! It's very easy to use, almost too easy, considering what is going on in the background!

Regards,

Michael
