BCM 400 3.7

Hi All,
I Have a BCM 400 3.7 that crashed I just purchases a blank drive that I need to load 3.7. How can i do that.

Couple of options:
You need to order e new drive with BCM 3.7 preloaded and import the backup config, I am not sure if you need to activate the keycodes.
Second option which I have done in the past is to clone the old drive to a new drive. I have used Norton Ghost long time back when some sectors on the old drive were bad.

There are a number of good cloning tools available. I've used Acronis and WinHex. If you haven't got a backup, then it will probably be a rebuild.

I has done that long time back using Norton ghost. Connect old/crashed drive as a second drive to a PC, partition it exactly as the original drive. Connect the crashed drive as third drive and then copy/clone one partition at a time. after all the partitioned have been copied then pop in the new drive and you are done.

You may also purchase a drive preloaded with 3.7.

pre loaded HD best way to go. If you need to use BIT tool you would need access to KRS to generate the UNIQUE ID code to allow ghost.

A pre-loaded R3.7 hard drive can be bought for about $100. This will save you more time than trying to track down the image, keycodes, writing the image, etc.
