Was working on DFI UT X58-T3EH8 rig backing stuff up before I take it apart to change from TRUE120 air to a H20 cooled loop. So loaded up Acronis TrueImage, and cloned the drive to another 750GB Samsung hdd. But whoops, cloned the wrong drive and wiped all my data on the drive with an old OS install for same DFI UT X58-T3EH8 rig

Now all kind of weird errors like SSCARDLG.dll not found etc. Guess another fresh install is in order

lol - i almost did this at work....but realised before clicking the clone button - luckily else i would have had a quite angry customer on my back.....

Yeah silly me

Acronis TI allows you to double check partitions before committing to the cloning process, problem is i always use the same partition naming/sizes for disks and well cloning one 750GB Samsung to another doesn't help LOL

If it was for benching - why use a 750gb?
Why not a 640gb/raptor/ssd? - wouldnt they all be faster = better results?
I use acronis TI at work also - that last checking page is the one i got to before realising

Ah - ok then good reason.
Windows 7 is a great OS.....running it on both my gaming system and laptop as main os (gaming has Vista x64 ultimate on a 30gb partition also)
