I redid the clone with selecting all three partitions and it worked this time around.

I am trying to clone my hdd to an ssd and I used macrium for both the no name partition and the C partition. I cannot boot off the ssd at the moment. This drive is Windows 7 64 bit. I plan on using Linux Mint in the future. It's possible I will setup a raid later than 2 TB in the future, but...

It was at work so it likely was a vpn. Thanks for all the info.

I just got a computer with barebones windows 7 on it, and I installed a few programs on it to test it out. The pc came with a 500 gb mechanical drive. I want to use the mechanical drive to do the windows 7 updates, and install all the programs I can think of I will use. Then I plan to defrag...

I am having issue shrinking my windows 7 drive. I ran a defrag and it says the last file is a system volume file. The partition is currently at about 240 GB and I want to get it down to say 230 to put on my new Samsung 850 evo 250 GB drive. I'm only using about 50 GB of the partition 1. Can I...

Got the pc last night, fired it up and so far so good. The ram was only 1066, so I'm going to get M393B1K70DH0-CK0. I plan on stress testing the PC in the next few days. I'm waiting on a good sale for the WD Black 1TB drive.

Thanks for the reply, I did see that note and it seems I was overcomplicating things a bit. I should be able to get a total of 96 GB of ram, but currently I'm planning on 32. What's the best brand/stick to look for out of that bunch?

I'm trying to add more ram to my system, and I've been not having much success figuring out what RAM is compatible. I found this online, Intel Server compatibility List. Does this list the compatible ram with this particular pc? HP seems to put their own part number around whatever part they...

Thanks, and I'm really excited for the PC! I'm considering getting this, 32 GB RAM. But they won't say much info on the page as to what it is, so I'm a bit worried. I'm thinking of getting some used mechanical drives on ebay cause they are cheap. New 1 TB drive Used 1TB drive

I just placed an order for an hp z620 from ebay. ebay auction Found some additional caddies for 30 bucks, got a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter for a samsung evo 850 250 gb drive. Should I upgrade the ram first and what kind of ram should I get knowing I want to get a second processor? I think I can...

I think I'm going to start with this one as it only needs an additional 1TB to get started, http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Z620-WIN-7-PRO-2x-E5-2670-2-60GHz-8-CORE-64GB-1x-256GB-SSD-NVS-295-/201537738434?hash=item2eec95d6c2:g:UloAAOSwP~tW31Ly. But it does have windows 7 and a 256 gb SSD. With...
