Fvcking useless Lifeguard software. Coworker told me his computer was running a lot slower than normal so took a look at it. Realized he had a Deathstar (GXP60) so we went out and bought a WD 120GB yesterday. WD's fabulous software is supposed to be able to set partition sizes, format in FAT32 or NTFS, and then do an exact copy of a partition from your old hard drive.
It does none of the above. Not only does it not format the drive, it doesn't set the partition size, and it certainly doesn't do an exact copy of a partition. (I even manually did set the partition sizes and formatted it using different software and trusted that it would do an exact copy) Neither of the 3 times it has "copied" has worked. Thanks for wasting 2 half days worth of time you useless POS hard drive company. :|
In the process now of downloading the Maxtor Maxblast to see if that will work, because I've used that flawlessly on every single other drive I've ever worked on (then again, I've bought only Maxtor exclusively b/c I've hated WD, and this definitely does not change my opinion) Just out of curiousity - are there any other (free) programs that will do a copy of an entire partition?
