EV>Sunday, I started a 2nd clone, TI said it had to ReBOOT to start the   
   EV>Clone process and it saw the partitions on the new HDD and asked to   
   EV>Delete them before it could start the clone, so I let it remove them.   
      
   EV>I got all the way through and saw the message that I successfully   
   EV>completed the HDD cloaning, and it said to press any key to shut down.   
      
   EV>After it shut down, I pressed the power button and let the pc start up   
   EV>while I still had the USB Adapter connected to the pc with the newly   
   EV>cloned HDD still attached to it.   
      
   EV>I saw the Black Screen with the message saying "Acronis True Image Home   
   EV>Completed." and when the message disappeared the screen stayed Black   
   EV>for about 90 seconds and then Vista started up and I Logged On.   
      
   EV>I looked at things in Windows Explorer and saw the F: and G: partitions   
   EV>showed up in the listing along with the C:, D: drives and the E: CD-ROM   
   EV>drive.   
      
   EV>I tried to click the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon and select the F & G   
   EV>drive letters before I turned the pc off but after three times getting   
   EV>the message box saying that it couldn't remove the F: and G: I Turned   
   EV>the pc OFF and removed the USB connector and powered it up again to see   
   EV>if it started up O.K., and it did.   
      
   That is because I think the USP port knows it is a Hard Drive. You CAN   
   remove the USB hard drive adapter with the computer on.   
   The "Safely Remove Hardware" thing is to make sure you do not remove the   
   SLOW flash Drives before any file transfers are completed.   
   I always wait yntil the drive activity light is no longer flashine and   
   them remove them and have NEVER had a problem.   
      
   EV>I haven't had time to put the bigger HDD in the box yet to see if all   
   EV>is O.K. or not.   
      
   EV>If it doesn't work this time I will do another clone by using the TI   
   EV>Boot CD even if it does complain about the Region 7 problem I saw B4.   
      
   From what you described the Cloning went off perfectly and it   
   should work
