Hello all, I have an old Lenovo laptop that I want to back up the main and recovery partitions of the drive to put onto a new drive but I don't know how to do so. I cannot use the OS on it to do so since the hard drive is so slow, so I would like some recommendations on what software to use for...

I get that, I do the exact same thing but on different physical PCs, despite their copious amount of problems. The whole reason I mess around with all these old electronics is just because I grew up with em, they remind me of my past, and the whole fact that it gives me something to do...

Sadly this one is a knockoff, I believe an Apeiva branded case. Only bad thing about it is that the door hinge is glued in place, broke long ago, only if they made it out of metal. The one beside it, which can be barely seen in the photo, is a 2004 Star Wars case, a little beat up, not stock in...

Seems like it's running right, just don't know why details sometimes don't show up. Was a little confused at first but I figured it out, both are relatively the same. Yeah, this computer isn't actually that terrible, although the only original thing left in it is the HDD, rest of its new-to-me...

Also forgot to specify, I usually call each individual slot a channel, not sure why I do it but I do. Its just an ASUS P6X58D-E with 6 slots. Yes I did have to get two sets, they were 4 sticks each. It does call the modules G.Skill Size 8Gb - Clock 800MHz But it also does say 668.4MHz 5:1...

Forgot to specify, I have a 6 channel board so two of them aren't used. I could be wrong since I didn't have my phone to confirm speed at the time. EDIT: Yes I was wrong, looking at the page it's Ripjaws X that runs at 1600MHz. But that doesn't explain why the details won't pop up when...

I recently bought a new ram kit for my main computer, an 8x8GB DDR3 2000MHz set of G-Skill Ripjaws for around $70, its not much money but these modules seem off. Unknowingly I found these on eBay and got them since they weren't a bad price, but they came from China, which is also why they took...

I think it semi-works now. It seems to need a reboot after power loss then works fine afterwards, although I need more troubleshooting time.

Well this is about how I expected it to go, never as planned. It won't load Express Gate anymore, I think because of this different keyboard. It says there's 3 when there's not and I think it doesn't like it, I'll see about it tommorow. And also it still does the reboot required nonsense when...

It works now, and honestly I'll leave it on because I can just click exit now. Thx yall. - DISREGARD

I found it but it strangely didn't work so I installed the Express Gate software to see if I can get it to work normal. I'll report back in a bit.

I'll have to look at it tonight when I get home, although I've looked all over BIOS before and haven't seen anything labeled that, do you know what it could be labeled as? Yes I know but its better then what I've used before. Interesting, but I didn't know that was a thing, hence why it...

It be like that. I can assure you that everything is in it's place, I think the rattling is from the CPU fan. The innerworkings of it might be a little fried due to its age, but its only my best guess.

I think I brought this up in the past but I don't think it got anywhere, so here's a much more detailed version of what I've experienced. I've had this ASUS P6X58D-E board paired with an I7 X970, dual set of 1070 Ti FE cards, WD 1 + 2 TB HDD + SSD, and Windows 10 and it is the only system I've...

Oh, I thought they were color-coded by speed, that makes sense now. I'll look around for some different WD drives. I do think they only made the black drives for laptops only, physical drives of course, its the only place I've seen them, and they're quite old. I've got around 4 of them sitting...
