From my understanding of the documentation, all you have to have is a Maxtor/Seagate drive in your system - it doesn't have to be the one involved in the cloning or back-up process.

Do you have a Maxtor or Seagate hard drive - if so you're in luck!

Have a read of the manuals re cloning, partitioning, etc.

It (the thread generally) does need cleaning up.
I know grc.com has been mentioned, but a word for the Wizmo freeware from there.
[url]http://www.grc.com/wizmo/wizmo.htm[/url]

A 37kb exe with a couple dozen power management and op drive functions available with the relevant switch(es) in the 'path' field of a shortcut to it - and a dozen or so shortcut icons to choose from for the given task(s). Run the exe directly to get more help.

Can shut down, reboot, turn off monitor, blank monitor with black or the desktop 'background' colour, logout, hibernate, standby, open or close op drive(s), adjust simple sound settings (volume etc), run it's own screensaver (the customising switches for which didn't work for me, btw), set a timer for most of these functions, or perform most combinations of them within a single shortcut. Finally, a worthwhile use of the Quick Launch toolbar. :hehe:

I'm keen, if it isn't obvious.

Wasbit, from your lists of anti-keyloggers you should remove "I hate keylogggers" Turns out it includes spyware of sorts :(

Just to let you know

RLsupplies afaik are nothing to do with Savastore and should be still ok.

Savastore was part of Watford Computers, they have indeed gone bust.

However a similar name of 'Savastore' (cant remember what its called now) has risen from the ashes and has promised to honour commitments of the old Savastore

btw if anybody needs free sounds for (example) their prize video try here

Anti Spyware (free) :

The problem is how to know which are the bad programmes. There are a few real nasty ones that offer to scan your computer for free, then tell you that it's found 100s of nasties which can only be removed by buying their programme. When you say no, you get pop-ups which make the pc nearly unusable and the nasty that they've installed takes some hard work to get rid of.
So before you say yes to a free scan check out the programme beforehand at somewhere like Spyware Warrior

These lists are not exhaustive and links expire or change, so if anybody has any additions I will add them and credit the responder.
Emails are probably better than private messages - wasbit(at)hotmail(dot)com (replace (at) & (dot) with @ & .)

In reply to those who ask why I keep these lists - it started because I kept getting sidetracked and could never remember where that illusive bit of information was, even though I'd found it only minutes before.

Defrag Software (free):

Auslogics Disk Defrag - http://www.auslogics.com/disk-defrag/index.php
- http://www.snapfiles.com/get/adiskdefrag.html
"does not appear to have any advantages over the standard Windows defragmenter, other than a slightly more user friendly interface".

Diskeeper Lite - http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=1207
- "98/ME/NT/2000/XP. Faster than the built-in Windows equivalent, but has lesser features.
Note that Diskeeper Lite replaces the built-in Windows defragmentation tool when you install it, so that you can no longer run the Windows version alongside this new version. That is, you cannot get the best of both worlds. If you use XP, which has a much-improved defrag utility than earlier versions, it may be best to simply use the built-in defragmentation tool instead of this program."

Defragmentor Lite CL - http://www.defragmentor.com/dmlcl/en/home.asp
- "command line tool that allows you to defragment a file or group of files." 2000/2003/XP.

Dirms not only defragments your hard disk, but it tries to optimize the amount of contiguous free space available. Buzzsaw is useful for people who don't want to bother with things like defragmentation - it is one of those fire and forget programs that work only when your computer is idle. Both programs require Windows 2000 and XP."
