I have no idea what is the idea behind this channel but it's really fun seeing you doing these "sorta kinda useless but usefull"™ stuff. Specially because you are not a super expert and I can relate A LOT when stuff doesn't go as planed and you have almost no idea what to do (but fight as well as you can to do it)
+Druaga1, you scrolled right past how to use the volume thing (15:54, for a few frames you'll see it). It says: Swipe your finger on the volume sensor strip to change the volume. To increase volume, move from the - towards the +. To decrease volume, move from the + towards the -. Tips: You can start swiping at any point on the strip. The duration of the swipe determines the amount of the change. A the end of this swipe, if you keep your finger on the strip, the volume control continues to change in the same direction. Tapping on the strop does not change the volume.
Macrium Reflect (free) is able to copy a whole disk to another one even if they have mismatching size. I did this when I switched from a 1TB hard drive to a SSD. (Of course I had to delete some files on the 1TB drive so the used space was less than the whole space of the target SSD)
9:00 "There's a login??" Well yeah.. When you started putting a password in at setup, I was like "WHy the fuck are you making a password??? Now it's gonna slow the startup process down because you have to log in!!!"
No. No it's not. It's (Recommended) Even says so. I've installed Windows 7 about 6.2 billion times. Never once have I put a password on it. Including the computer I am on at this very moment.
Once again, no it's not. It's only grayed out when he types the first letter in the password box, because then it's waiting for you to fill the rest out. Pause it at 6:23. I own a computer repair business, I know what the hell I"m talking about.
I became more happy after ur videos, because I actually realize, that I'm not only one who fuck up's everything, and eventually gave up at the end because failed...
The way I go about this usually is the following: Resize the source partitions to fit onto the target disk using GParted (Hiren's - Parted Magic), make sure all partitions are clustered together to the left (Don't leave GBs of space between OS an recovery, move recovery to sit beside OS again after shrinking OS) Then, I like using Macrium Reflect to clone the now-fitting disk. I've found that it can deal with cloning to a smaller disk as long as the combined size of partitions is smaller than the target, and as long as there isn't unallocated space in between them (It would try to keep the same amount of space).
If at 4,5 minutes Druaga1 says "This is gonna be easy" and there is still 40 minutes of video left, you know something will go wrong. Every reason to just sit and relax.. ;-)
Disk Image files can be VERY strange. It's actually pretty consistent for a file to claim its file use is maxed out, because it can't identify "free space" in an image. An image is just a file, all the "free space" is consistent of hexadecimal information that tells the original software what it needs to know... So, while you have 217GB used of 288, the hexadecimal data remains to declare what fills the free space... In this case, if you were to have been successful, the hex data would have wiped the RAID clean by telling it to fill the excess with null data.
Somewhere around 16:00 You mention the PDF skipping the capacitive volume. You didn't read closely enough. ;) (To increase volume, slide your finger from the minus to the plus. Do the opposite to decrease volume.)
Ahh Windows, we may complain about you, mock you, and even curse you for existing, but if there's two things that make you great it's your familiarity and your non-discriminating compatibility.
1) shrink the partition on the drive you want to copy 2) Strip size it's not smallest file size! explaining the simplest: when you set it to 64 KB, only files bigger than 64 KB will get speed improvement, smaller files will be stored only on one drive so read speed for them will be read speed of that drive
Dang man, jut a while back I was wondering when you'd hit 40,000 subs, and now you've hit 50,000 subs. You're gonna be at 100,000+ subscribers in no time.
Why it shows the whole space is used? Because the program is creating an image of the WHOLE disk, and that includes whatever space is unused. So when you restore the image, it restores it fully to it's previous state. Aside from that, there might be used data in sectors that are off the disk space in your destination disk since it's smaller, which would lead to data corruption. And that's why it makes an image of the whole disk. If you only want to copy the data (no partitions / MBR), you might have better luck manually copying it instead of using disk images.
The RAID strip(e) size only effects how the data is spread between the disks - only really matters with mechanical drives if you're trying to optimize for random-access vs big raw files. The whole minimum file size thing is determined by the block size for whatever filesystem you're using - NTFS, FAT32, etc..
So i don't know much about strip sizes but from the last video i read the links and basically thats saying thats the smallest files size. Now it doesn't mean it cant store anything smaller, but for example if you tried to save a 2KB file it would take 128KB cause that is what you saved the strip size as. It would still show as 2KB on the os and move fast, but 126KB would be disregarded from the computer. That's why if an OS or anything is going on there you should make it small cause it should save a few gigs in the long run with files below the Strip Size.
HDD LLF: gets rid of everything on a drive (even the stuff Windows can't, but not Raid-definitions I believe). but you only need to quick-format, no real need to buy. It's so hardcore that afterwards you need to bring the drive back to life from within the Windows volume manager because it won't even show up as an unformated drive in explorer directly after using the tool. Very useful to give drives a "new start", especially after screwing around with OS X / linux.
Just cloned my HDD RAID0 too a SSD via a dongle, using Macrium Reflect. Win 8.1 NOTE. It wont boot through the external connection. But if you remove the two HDD and insert the SSD, works like a charm. Very simple and easy.
the stripe size is to do with the largest single file that can be written in one write cycle. for example, with a stripe size of 16kb, if a file is over 16kb it will write to stripes on both drives. so having a smaller stripe size is handy if you are dealing with small files(for access and writing). If the file you are dealing with is under 16kb, it will write to one stripe only and be very quick. if the file is massive, it will only read 16kb of the file per access cycle(therefore making the array work harder). So as a rule, the bigger the files being dealt with then the bigger the stripe should be. but that brings down access time when then reading smaller files. so for an OS, 32 or 64kb is my recommendation. not very technical i know, but neither am i.
97th fuck yeah. I can't believe i just checked ~6 minutes ago your channel and there was nothing new. So i decided to see the newest video from Explainig Computers and guess what? The suggestion of the next video was this one. Holy shit, thanks Obama.
Hey Ian, on your touch volume control, you swipe your finger left and right to change the volume. (Saw it in the PDF you showed us in the video) Also, if you download Nvidia Geforce Experience, it finds and downloads the graphics driver automatically
At ~13:50 you ignore the Chipset Drivers. But you should always install the chipset drivers. Also, you could easily look up your motherboard specification and find out if both ssd's were working on sata-2 or sata-3.
Just a tip: if you want to avoic that annoying 300 MB Recover Partition, do this right after selecting the language: SHITF + F10 Diskpart List Disk Select Disk "X" (could be 0, 1, etc) Create partition primary You could also create a partition with a specific size. For example, to create a primary partition with 430.3 GB, do _430.3 x 1024_, the result is the number you specify. So in my case the command would be: create partition primary size=440628
I've found whole disk backup restores to be more trouble than they're worth. For one thing, unless your hardware setup is almost EXACTLY the same, you'll probably run into driver issues. Windows has to be installed with certain basic drivers assuming certain things, and the hard disk controller for drive C is, unfortunately, one of those hard-coded things that will cause a BSOD if you, say, attach your Windows drive to a different SATA controller on the same motherboard even after you install the drivers for the other SATA controller. I've also heard that activating a RAID that wasn't there when Windows was first installed could be problematic. What I like to do instead is just do a fresh installation of Windows, and then copy over the user folders (Documents/Desktop/Downloads/etc) from the other drive. Works well in my case because I usually have installation EXEs for all the junk that was on my computer sitting in the Downloads folder anyway. Sure, it might take a few hours to get everything setup, but look how long restoring from a backup can take. Disk imaging really works best when you're either putting exactly the same image on several pieces of identical hardware on a regular basis, or if you're backing up the same system and planning to restore it to the same hard drive in case you mess something up. Otherwise, the time savings really aren't there, because doing the same operation several times under similar conditions without needing to fuss around is what makes it an improvement over more manual methods. If you're working with a few systems that have hardware changes... yeah, I wouldn't bother.
HEY DRUAGA! Is it ok if I use some of your music in a video Im making? I'll give you credit in the description and a link to your BandCamp and RUclips channel
Does Druaga not know about the built-in Windows 7 Backup and Restore function in the control panel? It actually makes an image of only the space that you've used, and a recovery CD would have to be made... but it'd still probably be better then Acronis.
have you tried redo restore? its a linux type backup and restore os but it works. im not sure if it has anything like compression but im about to use it to backup one of my computers but i will let you know if it does.
i have used it before and it is simple and works very well. also it is open source but it might be dead cause the website says copyright 2013 and the last download was in 2012 but it still works so yea. idk if it is still getting worked on?
on sourceforge their are still things going on in the discuessions for it so i dont think it is dead. but it is so simple it just works and that might be why it has not been updated in a few years. i guess
If you'd used the automatic mode in clone mode in Acronis, that would've resized everything for you. That PQService partition is the original Gateway factory image - I wouldn't bother with that then it would've fit.
Er... So what was the original point of installing Windows 7 and the graphics drivers? Recovering from the other drive would just overwrite it all with Vista, because recovering from the entire image of a Vista drive would give you, well, Vista, and it would wipe away anything you installed before that point. If you wanted to get the files from the other install, you'll need to straight up plug the drive in and copy the files over, or use some other restore utility. I'd recommend a Linux live disc to do this (the file copying), to avoid Windows permissions shenanigans.
That is not how RAID and stripes work. Windows should not align files on stripe boundaries. That would actually be kinda dumb. Sure, it would speed certain actions up, but it would waste too much space to be practical. OSs will and SHOULD align accesses to a stripe boundary to improve throughput. so when writing and reading they'll read a stripe at a time (stripe size * number of disks), but otherwise its something you shouldn't need to worry about. If accronis keeps being dumb like that, you can look into gparted-live or Clonezilla live which have the necessary tools to resize a partition, including an NTFS partition so it can fit after the imaging. They tend to use partimage or partclone which should support sparse backup and recovery, meaning you don't need to do much. That said, you pretty much need to do a full defrag before the partition resizing. First I'd just try Clonezilla rather than manual partition resizing malarkey.
Intel Matrix Storage RAID thingy doesn't do anything. It's known as FakeRAID as it doesn't use hardware acceleration or anything like a real hardware RAID. The main reason for it to exist is to allow Windows to boot off of SoftRAID. Unlike Mac OS X and GNU/Linux to name two options, Windows cannot boot off of it's own software RAID. So to boot, you need to have a 'fake' disk presented by the BIOS or HBA (in this case, the chipset's RAID ROM addon) so Windows thinks it's just booting off of a disk. There is no practical difference between motherboard-based fake RAID and 'normal' software RAID other than the BIOS seeing the Logical Volume (the RAID drive) instead of two drives, other than the windows boot support.
I installed one of those driverless versions of Windows 7 Home Premium. It didn't have Internet Explorer on it. I had to download Firefox and the wireless LAN drivers from another computer to get it to work.
Broooo you can't put an image from a larger drive onto a smaller drive. Doesn't matter how much free space there is, the destination has to be equal or greater than the size of the original. It's because when you image the drive it copies the structure bit for bit, including free space, and it needs to stay intact in order to actually work on the new drive. Now some people have already said this but you can resize the original partition to say 200GB, so that it plus the MBR partition is less than 223GB, then in Acronis don't do a drive image but rather a partition image, selecting each partition individually.
I would recommend HDClone, we use HD Clone 5 at my workplace to deploy images to SSD's the home version of HDClone 6 is super simple and does support cloning top smaller destinations.
The volume strip instructions were in the manual. You scrolled right past them. It acts kind of like a camcorder zoom. If you swipe to the left or right and then keep your finger on the strip, the volume will keep going in that direction.

Create partition primary

Druaga when you get to the product key screen you should smash the keyboard for a ton of random characters and thennn cut screen to afterwards. =P
I never knew Intel had weed.
@intel when did you mean to tell me you had weed?
thanks for being an inspiration bro. love your vids.
That is not how RAID and stripes work. Windows should not align files on stripe boundaries. That would actually be kinda dumb. Sure, it would speed certain actions up, but it would waste too much space to be practical. OSs will and SHOULD align accesses to a stripe boundary to improve throughput. so when writing and reading they'll read a stripe at a time (stripe size * number of disks), but otherwise its something you shouldn't need to worry about.
If accronis keeps being dumb like that, you can look into gparted-live or Clonezilla live which have the necessary tools to resize a partition, including an NTFS partition so it can fit after the imaging. They tend to use partimage or partclone which should support sparse backup and recovery, meaning you don't need to do much. That said, you pretty much need to do a full defrag before the partition resizing. First I'd just try Clonezilla rather than manual partition resizing malarkey.
Looks like it's doing a 1:1 clone? Probably why it took so long. Would Clonezilla help? It's not as pretty but it has the options you're after.
RAID ON THE RAIDDAR AT 2OCLOCK
Necessary non-jinx music interlude.
I had to put Windows 7 Pro on my workstation because only the pro versions can recognise more than 4 cpu's
This is like Filthy Frank with a bigger brain meets technology
I'm using that exact same version of Windows 7 right now in a virtual machine with Windows 10 as the host OS
Intel Matrix Storage RAID thingy doesn't do anything. It's known as FakeRAID as it doesn't use hardware acceleration or anything like a real hardware RAID. The main reason for it to exist is to allow Windows to boot off of SoftRAID. Unlike Mac OS X and GNU/Linux to name two options, Windows cannot boot off of it's own software RAID. So to boot, you need to have a 'fake' disk presented by the BIOS or HBA (in this case, the chipset's RAID ROM addon) so Windows thinks it's just booting off of a disk. There is no practical difference between motherboard-based fake RAID and 'normal' software RAID other than the BIOS seeing the Logical Volume (the RAID drive) instead of two drives, other than the windows boot support.
probably a moot comment after 6 years but you left backup method as "full" in the options :3...so that's why it backupped the free space aswell
i always do that with the hint section
I installed one of those driverless versions of Windows 7 Home Premium. It didn't have Internet Explorer on it. I had to download Firefox and the wireless LAN drivers from another computer to get it to work.
Broooo you can't put an image from a larger drive onto a smaller drive. Doesn't matter how much free space there is, the destination has to be equal or greater than the size of the original. It's because when you image the drive it copies the structure bit for bit, including free space, and it needs to stay intact in order to actually work on the new drive.
Now some people have already said this but you can resize the original partition to say 200GB, so that it plus the MBR partition is less than 223GB, then in Acronis don't do a drive image but rather a partition image, selecting each partition individually.
still waiting on that iPod video
Looks like I'm staying up til 5am on labor day. #LABORDAYRAID0
Shrink the actual Vista partition on the 320GB drive while it's booted. You could then clone the partition onto the RAID SSDs. :D
Wth? Marijuana Mac? What the developers were thinking?
watch his hackintosh vid, he named that himself
I would recommend HDClone, we use HD Clone 5 at my workplace to deploy images to SSD's the home version of HDClone 6 is super simple and does support cloning top smaller destinations.
The volume strip instructions were in the manual. You scrolled right past them. It acts kind of like a camcorder zoom. If you swipe to the left or right and then keep your finger on the strip, the volume will keep going in that direction.
My hardware RAID 0 died on me the other day. Had to reinstall OS and took the RAID down back to 2 disks. Too risky with non-identical drives.
You need to resize the partition on the original drive to smaller than the destination! Then you can clone it straight over without an image.
Did you just say you don't need the chipset? WHAT. That's the thing you need the most.
