Subject  :  Two active disks a problem?
Size(KB) :  1


Just wanted to leave some feedback regarding the software. Used 
Xxclone on a basic Windows 2000 system with two hard drives since I 
needed to move the system to the larger second disk while retaining 
the first disk for extra storage. Ran program with the floppy
reboot option however made a mistake and put in a full floppy and 
there was no retry option which would be nice to allow for this 
error. Anyway, program preceded in one step without reboot
and when it finished, before the step four boot, I swapped the drive 
configuration so that the target drive was now the first drive. I 
was concerned that having two active partitions on two drives would 
be a problem (not actually sure if this is the case) so I used Ranish 
to deactivate the original source smaller drive now second drive. 
When I booted up the program went through some final steps and then 
seemed to lock up at the end of copying /backup2. I might have 
messed up by opening disk management before this was done. However I 
ended with a sort of partial lock up with two DOS windows open as 
well as an empty logical disk management console and the program. 
After shutting down the next boot up was fine and everything is in 
order except for two programs that I originally installed on the D 
drive which of course would not function and interestingly the 
uninstall deleted the programs from both drives. Anyway just to say
that the program is excellent and I will have no hesitation in buying 
this as soon as the first release version is out. Would even like to 
have it around before then. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, EHB

P.S. One thing I noticed was that the system volume information 
folder is no longer hidden from view on the new cloned drive whereas 
the source drive has the original behavior. And Word 2000 asked if I 
wanted to register...
