Cracked it! Through the help of the TekTips posse I came to realize that just cloning the partitions was not going to do the job. I should have been cloning the whole SSD to the HDD. The smaller size of the HDD did not matter so long as there was room enough for the data, as it turned out...

Can someone explain, please. I used EaseUs Todo to make a clone of Partition C: (which is on my SSD) to Partition E: (which is on my HDD). EaseUs appeared to do the job, and gave no indication that there was anything amiss. rclarke250 seems to be suggesting that this is not possible, and that...

I made, or thought I made the clone of C: using EaseUS software. It was certainly not an image backup. The software made no complaint, and because the C: contained only 64GB of data, I assumed that the clone would fit on the E: It sounds as if I don't really understand what a Clone is...

Thanks for further help. I have not cracked the problem yet. I have made the E: partition "Active" and then cloned the C: partition to it. I have then tried to boot from the HDD by putting the jumper to make it Master and removing the SSD. I have tried the same without the jumper. I have tried...

Ok. Now I've looked under the bonnet, and can report that the SSD is SATA but the spinning drive has IDE connection. Whilst I was there I disconnected the SSD and tried to boot up, but was quickly sent a message to say that I needed to use a Bootable Device, or words to that effect. I next...

Thanks all. Just to get this clear before I do something silly . . . I've done the backing up and cloning. However the drives are ATA, it seems SSD = Crucial CT500MX200SSD1 ATA Spinning = Samsung SP2514N ATA Do I move the jumper on the Spinner?

Thanks, Doc. I'll go ahead and give it a try!

I have been booting Win7 from an SSD (partitions C and D) and have had an HDD (partitions E and F) as Back-up/Data storage. I now wish to remove the SSD for use in another machine. If I clone C: drive to E: on the HDD, remove the SSD, and rearrange the jump plugs from Slave to Master on the HDD...

Thanks for the question ChrisHirst. What I mean is sorting out websites that operate ok on a desktop browser, but either don't fully operate, or are awkward to read and navigate on a an iphone or other mobile phone. and example of mine is www.dvw.org.uk where the php that I have used still does...

As an amateur, I have set up a few small websites over the years, with the use of a now out-dated Dreamweaver 2004MX and some PHP/MYSQL. It would be great to make one or two of the sites "mobile-friendly", and am seeking advice on how to tackle this. In the past I have found text-books on PHP...

It's great that a consensus is emerging! I had been thinking, overnight that I might start with the SSD, hoping that this might give the system a boost relatively simply and cheaply. (No need to change Power Supply?) I read this which recommended the Crucial MX100 512GB SSD. I already have two...

Thanks cdogg. With the 64bit installation I had intended to increase the RAM to 8GB. I attach a photo of my Power Supply. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=c2dad5ef-9770-4142-b7a8-70b51f9d0326&file=IMG_0356.jpg

How nice of you all to devote so much time and effort to helping me with my PS CC issue. Many thanks. To give a bit more detail, my original mother-board keeled over a few months ago and I took my PC to the local “man”. He replaced it with a Biostar A780LB board, a name which has lead to some...

I have recently started using Photoshop CC and find that my PC is not up to the job of processing the large files involved. I'm looking at ways to improve things without having to invest in a new PC. Current set up is: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 2.7GHz NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT 32...

re the post above, I've tested the same thing today and find the CPU is much more lively. Seems to be an intermittent problem. Maybe I'll just have to re-boot when the system starts grinding. In the meantime I have discovered that the external HDD on which I put my early System Images has...

Returning for a moment, if I may, to my original issue here - ie my Windows7 set-up going slow, I would welcome some insight as to why. I have been running Photoshop CC, and it is with this program that I am having the greatest problems with speed. I expected to have to wait a while as PScc...

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm not encouraged to pursue the idea as the consensus seems to be that it won't add much to the PC's performance.

I have been considering doing a total re-install of my Windows 7 (32bit) system in order to get it back up to speed. The I can across this article entitled "Win7’s no-reformat, nondestructive reinstall" at: http://windowssecrets.com/top-story/win7s-no-reformat-nondestructive-reinstall/ Has...

Thanks for the tip, japadie. I think for me, as a retired bloke, the challenge of getting php/html to do my bidding is an important part of the hobby. I do learn a bit each time I create a new page, and I learn from people like yourself for whom these languages have become second nature. I'm...

Of course! Very stupid of me. Many thanks. That's sorted it. Because I so rarely deal with forms I forget the basics.
