Howdy! Ben,

I used Clonezilla i686 version on my Vista notebook last night.

Even though I had both 2.5" IDE HDD's in the USB adapters and the USB cables plugged in when I Booted from the Clonezilla CD my old HDD couldn't
be seen.

"I" thought I was selecting the correct HDD as sda and sdb, when I read
the message asking me if I was really sure, I noticed Clonezilla had
the HDD built in the Vista box as the one to be overwritten.

I pressed the N key and Logged Off Clonezilla.

At least I read first and press a key after reading the screen.

WHEW!!!!!!!!

I'm glad I made those Backups of the Vista box before I started using it
to experiment with this project.

Remember, You don't have to exaggerate when talking about what Ed does.
Telling it as it is, is bad enough.

I know just enough to be dangerous about Linux.

I started trying to learn Linux after Jean Parrot mentioned Ubuntu 7.03
in a message, so I downloaded it to see what the program was about.

Jean started calling Ubuntu "U'u" in His messages, so I did also when
writing about my experiences.

At least I did notice the HDD's Name was the one inside the Vista box
and Clonezilla was going to replace Data on IT from the HDD You sent me
that I had only Formatted.

These here computer boxes ARE a learning experience.

I may give up on installing a larger HDD in the Windows 95 notebook since
now I can't see anything on the Display when it is turned on, and I can't figure out a method to make Your HDD take the Recovery Data from the
Acer CD.

Thanks for holding my hand during this.

And thanks to Others who also wrote trying to assist me.

Before I got the Service Manual I wondered why taking out the screws on
the bottom of the case wouldn't let me see what was in there.

At least I got to see what was inside of the Win95 Acer Note Light.

Welcome, forget the postage and you can keep the HD for your next project lol

O.K., I will keep the HD.
Your Address is on the box the HD came in so I will send a check to You
for the shipping cost, I know it won't cover the time You took sending
it to me and helping me. Thank You

I don't have any other pc that uses a 2.5 Inch IDE HD, so I will put it
inside the MAD DOG Multimedia Mega Vault 2.5" Aluminum Anodized Hard
Drive Enclosure-USB 2.0 I've been using during my try and trials of
updating the W95 notebook.

I could use it as a 12GB Portable USB HD until I learn of anyone wanting
that HD, then I'll pass it along to them.

iirc I got that Tagline in the Cooking echo.

Have to, ain't no other to keep.
