3680 - eRecovery Backups: How to transfer to network drive
Hi:
Bought a nice and cheap Aspire 3680, but it has no DVD burner (maybe that was stupid of me). It has this backup feature that dynamically (and slowly) repartitions the hard drive to make room on the hidden backup partition. This is threatening to take over the hard drive. I need recommendations as to how to get a good image of the hard drive, without destroying all of the hidden drive. With another machine, installing Acronis TrueImage clobbered the factory reset partition, and I'd like to keep that on this Aspire 3680. Thanks in advance for your recommendations! -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

: put a dvd burner in it That's too easy grin. Besides, where would I buy a DVD burner to put into an Acer Aspire 3680 laptop if Acer isn't selling it? Can I just put anything in there that would fit? What would that do to the warrantee? Sorry for thye multitude of questions. Han "Han" wrote in message ...
