  1. How to do a complete restore of hard drive?


    Hello all,I made a post earlier about not being able to access my profile or the Internet after restoring my computer HP Envy Desktop from a backup HP Envy x360 Laptop. I solved that issue, but when I logged in, I realized a new issue: I accidentally transferred my laptop's Windows license to my desktop.My Windows desktop is currently running the license from my laptop. Although it is a desktop, the system says it is an HP Envy x360 convertible laptop. I spoke to my uncle, and he said I need to do a complete restore of my hard drive. Do I ask Windows or HP for the license? Can I do anythin

    :)

    Free hard drive backup/restore program?

    I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.

    Obviously you're looking for something besides your Xp Pro utility that does this?

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
