The site was down last week due to a series of power failures that extended longer than the capacity of my uninterpretable power supplies. As it turned out, I wasn’t home to fix it. But now I’m back, and so is the site. All of the machines recovered gracefully.
My apologies for the downtime. If there’s an upside, it’s that I now have about a week’s backlog of content.
Thanks for hanging in there with me.
I used acronis universal restore to restore a winxp sp2 image from an old socket 754 board with a ton of legacy software that is already installed and configured properly for a very specific scientific task, to a relatively new AM3 socket board with a quadcore in it. It worked beautifully.
acronis universal restore actually modifies or does something to the drivers that are loaded so that when you restore to dissimilar hardware, the damn thing works. It’s beautiful.
Check it out.
