Yep. If you go into 'tools&utilities' option in Acronis you will find the clone disk option. easy as hell to configure. then it will ask for you to restart your PC and take over from there.

I always create a WIM file of a fresh Windows with and without drivers/software. This way I can just apply either when my hardware gets updated. Bit of a barebones was of doing things as opposed to Arconis or Ghost but it works.

Hardware (HDDs; in this context) can cause software (Windows; BSODs) to go wrong when the hardware itself is failing.

As promised. Lighting is really bad, and there are 10 people trampling about my flat atm so I can't really take a better picture for now.

Edit: Oh, and stickers are not on yet, it should look a lot better than this

I just won an auction for a boxed copy of Lethal Enforcers for Sega Mega CD, final price was £13.50 inc postage but I dont have a CRT TV to play it on
I need to get a small portable tv from gumtree or similar, pain in the arse trying to find one with a RGB scart connection.

Surely your TV would have a normal Scart connection at the back even if its a HD TV?

Already spoken to Kuro, my problem isn't that i dont have a RGB scart connection on my TV its that my current tv is LCD and i need a CRT. The reason i need a CRT is because that game uses a lightgun and those only work on CRT because of the scanlines.

Most of my old consoles infact most scart devices output RGB through scart but finding an old portable tv with an RGB scart connection will be difficult, its not like people advertise that feature. Most scart sockets are either RGB or just A/V like the composite red/white/yellow jacks but just in a scart block form. A lot of the widescreen tvs had both scarts, my old widescreen did but i had to get rid of it because i dont have room for 2 massive tvs.

/end of rant.

That's me just got my Google account back. It was a hassle, i had to create a yahoo email account just so they could send replies about the recovery to me (for some reason the recovery process didn't like my hotmail). The form you fill in is a bit complicated luckily your youtube profile page tells you how long you've been a member for.

I recently spec'd a similar rig for my cousin that had a GTX 560 Ti, 8GB of RAM, a 2TB HDD & 500W CX Corsair PSU for less than £500 inc del. It didn't have a monitor so I'd say including the monitor you'd probably be wanting to ask for about £450 max, £350 min.

Can pre-download on Origin, so you may be able to install it but not play it.

Nah, I have an idea on pricing now and it's going to be cheap, cheap as I need it to be a quick sale. Thanks for the offer though and cheers for your input as well Innocent.

I won't be away from here for too long, come January I'll be speccing and building a beast but I'm sure going to miss gaming and TPU until then.
