Is Vista updates recommandable before upgrading to Windows 7?
Thanks!
Using a laptop with pre-installed Windows Vista and upgrading to Windows 7. Next time a complete recovery is necessary I'll save a lot of time going directly from recovery to Windows 7 upgrade, Besides I plan to make an image backup. Know it's not the right palce to ask, however many is upgrading these days needing a complete backup before upgrade to Windows 7. Any pro/cons Norton Ghost 15.0 http://www.symantec.com/norton/ghost versus Acronis 2010 http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing...cts/trueimage/ ? "dinesh" skrev i meddelelsen ... So I guess you would be doing an upgrade install? You could just uninstall your antivirus/firewall protection to let the update process go smooth. -- dinesh |

7. Next time a complete recovery is necessary I'll save a lot of time going directly from recovery to Windows 7 upgrade, Besides I plan to make an image backup. Know it's not the right place to ask, however many is upgrading these days needing a complete backup before upgrade to Windows 7. Any pro/cons Norton Ghost 15.0 http://www.symantec.com/norton/ghost versus Acronis 2010 http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing...cts/trueimage/ ? I have a friend that LOVES Norton Ghost, I have never personally been able to make it do what I want it to do. Acronis however works perfectly for me! I had a laptop I was working on with a bad hard drive, I made an image and after putting in the new drive, booting from the boot disk Acronis made it restored the image to the new drive and everything was perfect!! I highly recommend it!!! Because of your recommandation I downloaded Acronis 2010 30 days free trial. Unfortunately I ran into problems with hanging windows and programs and had to re-boot and use safe mode in order to go again. The problems disappeared after uninstallation and when Acronis 2010 was reinstalled the problems went back. So unfortunately I can't use it... Others have reported problems with Acronis 2010, please see selected comments below: 'I have installed Acronis 2010 Home on Vista 64. It hangs the recycle bin when right clicked. Also explorer hangs and then crashes. when accessed. I have uninstalled the program, and everything is fine again. When i reinstall the program, it starts hanging and crashing again. I have unistalled it a second time. I have run windows Live and everything is fine and up to date' 'Acronis True Image Home works well (been using it since ver 9, now using 2009 - works with Win 7) as long as you stick with the basics and forget the bells and whistles they keep adding on. Don't use the Secure Zone (no need to nowadays) and don't activate the Startup Recovery Manager. The Try & Decide feature can cause problems and there are other ways to do this very easily. I use the bootable Rescue CD to make all Backup Images and do all Recovery functions. Their official forum is a wealth of information provided by other forum members - the replies from the official support people are usually canned and often useless.' 'Just downloaded to try Acronis 2010 and after installing this software it asked for reboot and my system never comes up.. Even in Safe mode it hangs at mup.sys ,, what kind of recovery software is this? I will never come back to this site.. I posted so that others wont bite their fingers.. who gave award to this software ?' 'have a similar problem. the 2009 works perfect. but when i load the 2010 upgrade, the system starts to load then reboots. this goes into a loop and does not stop. i even loaded a clean install of xp. loaded ti 2009 and updated to 2010. same thing. i have tried everything i know. been working on computers for 25 years and ever once in a while run into problems. guess i will keep the 2009...works perfect, unless someone else has the same issue. if there is a fix, please share. thanks' 'True Image Home 2010 hangs on backup. After I've checked the partiction to be stored, I have to proceed and specify the file. When I click Next, the program hangs forever (see attached). Running it under Vista Pro. Any ideas? I simply can't use it...' |
