But as it       changes the sector size and count, I can only read the resulting hard       disk in that caddy.              Clone a hard disk? hardly, when one of the disks has a different sector       size.              --       Cheers,        Carlos E.R.        ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
