Guest dgalekov Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Anyways here's my problem .. I did a full system backup of a 160 WD SATA disk total size is "160,014,912 Yes it's WD 160 Gb sata disk ... from newegg I did a asr backup backup to my 2nd WD SATA also from newegg a I disconnected disk1 disk3 was added 160,039,680 non WD disk but larger then disk1 .. I try a ASR restore and microsuck tells me that disk3 is too small ... riddle me this is win that stupid that can't understand cross brands ???? ... you know if the world went to linux it would be simplier ... So why can't I restore to a larger disk ... I think it's a bug ... probably one that would never be fixed ,, it's winblows and BG doesn't care... besides Vista is out and the prople speak ... most say it sucks ... and true .. think about for every version of winblows you need 2x cpu and 2x memory .. which means for 99% of all home owners they need a new PC ... more $$ Hell Fedora you can run core 3 - 7 on old pentiums and it works trust me I have core 5 running on a P3 400MHZ and 256M memory and it's fast ... faster then windows back to my problem why is winblows failing ??? the disk is = to or larger dale G

It's with ntbackup, which isn't exactly a cutting-edge backup utility. There's a reason 3rd party and imaging apps are sold and are popular, and why it isn't even included with all XP distributions. So you'll have better results looking at ntbackup issues, than with generic XP issues. What is the exact error message? Googling *that* will probably give you good clues. To your specific problem, are you tryng to transfer a working XP install from one drive to another? If so, a better bet might be to download and install the Acronis TrueImage Home trial (100 meg, http://www.acronis.com), to the original drive, then clone it to the new larger drive. You must do this in "manual" mode, as the "automatic" mode doesn't allow you to set the target partition size. You'll be done in about an hour. HTH -pk

Big deal. > every version of winblows you need 2x cpu and 2x memory No, you decided to switch from 9x-based Windows to NT-based. As you've said, go to some Linux distro. If you don't load its GUI desktop and remain at the command shell, RAM requirements will be very low. > Hell Fedora you can > run core 3 - 7 on old pentiums and it works trust me I have core 5 > running > on a P3 400MHZ and 256M memory and it's fast ... faster then > windows So why are you here? Oh, I see, a troll pretending to ask a question when, in fact, it's another child proselytizing their personal Linux choice and doing while stroking themself in public. From your rambling here, not likely you're an expert on Fedora, either. Since you're trying to use ASR which merely boots from the floppy to then load a fresh install of Windows to then run NTbackup using the logical backup files, why not just do it yourself? Do the fresh install and run NTbackup to do the restore. If Microsoft provided a decent backup program then all the 3rd party backup software vendors would be screaming that Microsoft was stealing their market. Every time Microsoft adds minor support for a feature, someone cries foul. So get used to using 3rd party software. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/818903/ "... installs a simple installation of Windows and automatically starts a restoration using the backup ..."

Fedora is my favorite version of Linux, have it on 4 machines, but I use Windows for interaction with clients, my exchange servers, my web servers, my ftp servers (using FileZilla Server as the FTP service), and as my file servers/domain controllers.

I'm using the backup utility that comes with XP Pro SP2 ... and it worked before but I was using the exact same size and vendor drives .... no problems.. And the way the spec was created a SG = WD=TS=FJ ... etc else raid 5 wouldn't work .. so what's broken in Winsuck XP .. I know the Seagate disk is larger then the WD ... Both are 160Gb's but one is Sata and the other is Sata2 .. my BIOS tells me that ... but I check on the net and it's not a big deal ... they pretty much said most people are confused ... SATA and SATA2 doesn't mean faster disks ... I know they are wrong on that because I use to benchmark systems ... not PC's 100K and up systems ... but it also worked on PC.. so Does WinBlows have a problem with a SATA 160 not a SATA2 160 ???

I also know XP backup and ASR restore works on drives that are twins ... i.e. that means that is drives of the same size from the same manufacturer... ie ... seagate .. WD ... etc.. XP backup can't handle non size disks .... I even teasted that ... with PM I made my disk look smaller and XP Still looked at it as larger Win does Blows ... and I know both ... you can dd a non intel box all day long .. sorry I beta tested Win 1.0 back then now that sucked my Unix box was faster for 15 years Anyways just saying you are not correct

I have Fedora core 5 and 6 runnig on on a system that most people wouldn't have but it works .. it multi tasks and I can compile on it ... it works and ues it's raster then having any version of Winblowz that can multiTask ... can you telnet,ssh into a XP or 200 system that small and still be fast ???

Certainly does - my laptop is a Tecra 9000 with 900MHz processor and 1GB RAM - XP certainly works OK on that...

Yep, even works on my really old P3 800Mhz Slot2. Probably even works with the old P3 550MHz Slot2 that got replaced. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/evaluation/sysreqs.mspx
