Anyways here's my problem .. I did a full system backup of a 160 WD
SATA
disk
total size is "160,014,912 Yes it's WD 160 Gb sata disk ... from newegg
I
did
a asr backup backup to my 2nd WD SATA also from newegg a I disconnected
disk1 disk3 was added 160,039,680 non WD disk but larger then disk1
.. I
try a ASR restore and microsuck tells me that disk3 is too small ...
riddle
me this is win that stupid that can't understand cross brands ???? ...
you
know if the world went to linux it would be simplier ... So why can't I
restore to a larger disk ... I think it's a bug ... probably one that
would
never be fixed ,, it's winblows and BG doesn't care... besides Vista is
out
and the prople speak ... most say it sucks ... and true .. think about
for
every version of winblows you need 2x cpu and 2x memory .. which means
for
99% of all home owners they need a new PC ... more $$ Hell Fedora you
can
run core 3 - 7 on old pentiums and it works trust me I have core 5
running
on a P3 400MHZ and 256M memory and it's fast ... faster then windows
back to my problem why is winblows failing ??? the disk is = to or
larger
dale G
First, the problem you're describing isn't with Windows. It's with
ntbackup, which isn't exactly a cutting-edge backup utility. There's a
reason 3rd party and imaging apps are sold and are popular, and why it
isn't
even included with all XP distributions.
So you'll have better results looking at ntbackup issues, than with
generic
XP issues.
What is the exact error message? Googling *that* will probably give you
good clues.
To your specific problem, are you tryng to transfer a working XP install
from one drive to another?
If so, a better bet might be to download and install the Acronis
TrueImage
Home trial (100 meg, www.acronis.com), to the original drive, then clone
it
to the new larger drive. You must do this in "manual" mode, as the
"automatic" mode doesn't allow you to set the target partition size.
You'll be done in about an hour.

Actually 1st ... I'm using the backup utility that comes with XP Pro SP2
...
Yes, that's ntbackup, which isn't actually part of Windows XP. It doesn't
even come with some versions of XP.
and it worked before but I was using the exact same size and vendor
drives
... no problems..
Well then, work around the ntbbackup problem. Do a temporary restore to a
similar drive, then use an imaging application.
And the way the spec was created a SG = WD=TS=FJ ... etc
else raid 5 wouldn't work .. so what's broken in Winsuck XP .. I know the
Seagate disk is larger then the WD ... Both are 160Gb's but one is Sata
and
the other is Sata2 .. my BIOS tells me that ... but I check on the net
and
it's not a big deal ... they pretty much said most people are confused
...
SATA and SATA2 doesn't mean faster disks ... I know they are wrong on
that
because I use to benchmark systems ... not PC's 100K and up systems ...
but
it also worked on PC.. so Does WinBlows have a problem with a SATA 160
not a
SATA2 160 ???
The problem is with ntbackup, not with Windows.
It does help if you dig in the right place.
