   Howdy! Tom,   
      
   I forgot about the word 'Clone'.   
   And I forgot the word 'image' and 'back up' was the same o same o. DUH!   
      
   I was confusing the word Image with thinking it meant making a Clone   
   when I was writing to Bob.  Sorry.   
      
   Where's Jean Parrot when I want to talk about BackUps, Images & Clones?

   Thanks for the update.   
      
    EV>I don't know, because I've never bought a later version of TIH to try   
    EV>to find out.   
    EV>Someone else here may have comments to set things straight.   
    EV>What I have works for me.   
    EV>My computer says something about SATA on the motherboard IIRC, but on   
    EV>Boot Up I see something about IDE on the screen.   
      
    TW> That sounds like you are running the Hard Drives in IDE   
    TW> emulation mode. That slows down the speed of the newer SATA   
    TW> drives. You should go into the BIOS and set the Hard drives to   
    TW> AHCI instead of IDE   
      
   AFAIK The BIOS is the same as when I bought the computer, except for   
   the One BIOS Update HP sent me a few months after I got it.   
      
   I will do a Re-BOOT and see if there is anything about using the AHCI   
   Setting on the HDD they put in this box.   
      
   Thanks!, I'll let You know in my next message.
