![]() To clone a WD 240GB drive to a Seagate 2TB one – software won’t install until I have partitlly setup the Seagate drive so the clone facility can see I have a Seagate drive within the OS environment. ![]() I to have been using Seagate drives for a while, however recent experiences mean that I am now looking for a new supplier: Recommendation: Test your backup software, so that you know it is working, before you accumulate years of backups, only to find that they won’t work for restoring parts or all of your system. My thought is that Seagate DiscWizard free version of the software won’t allow you to mount a backup image and then copy individual items out of the image. I haven’t done exhaustive testing, so I can’t say with absolute certainty. I was then able to mount the backup image and access stuff in it with no problem whatsoever. I then downloaded Macrium Reflect trial version and did a full backup. (Everything was grayed out and inaccessible under the Security tab.) I came to the conclusion that either (1) the backup was somehow corrupt, or (2) the software was preventing my accessing an individual folder (I was using the free software). Neither of these steps allowed me to access the folder or grant permission to access it. ![]() I logged in on my administrator account, and I even made my standard account an administrator. But then, when I tried to access the main folder where I keep all of my docs, pics, etc., that folder was inaccessible. This past weekend, I wanted to mount a backup image and search through it for an item I had backed up. However, my experience this past weekend causes me to reevaluate that recommendation. It has a solid feel about it, and it is easy to use. For a few years I have been using (and recommending) the free Seagate DiscWizard software, if you have a Seagate or Maxtor hard drive.
