New Hard Drive for a Presario 4824
That's one reason that I've decided to go with a card. There is data on the drive, which I would like to salvage. MaxBlast software wants to reformat and repartition the drive. The instructions say that it can be used to make a slave data drive, but what the instructions say and what the program does seem to be two different things. Thanks for all the replies. Matt Ben Myers Wrote: The other and more important reason for having a card instead of MaxBlast or similar is that if you ever ever have a problem and need to recover data and/or reinstall Windows, the process is complicated and uncertain. I had a client's Gateway box in here recently, and the software was pretty well hosed up. It took me several hours to get the data back from his hard drive onto another one set up without drive overlay software, and he is still complaining about software not working right. As far as I am concerned, MaxBlast, WD's or Seagate's similar software are to be avoided if at all possible. I have stated this for years, and my recent experience vindicates what I've said...
