Hi Ruth,
Let me ask some questions to start with.
1) Do you still have access to these disks under Windows?
Hi John,
Thanks for taking the time to help out. Appreciated.
It wouldn't be a problem to switch the old system drive back in for a
while ...
2) Do you intend to ever use the Windows systems again? (Dual booting).
Sadly, yes. There are a couple of things that I need to use - not least
of which is a photographic slide scanner which only has Mac and Windows
software available :-( (How long before manufacturers catch-up?!?)
The reason for the first question is sometimes a Windows system does not
close down in what we think is a normal manner and leaves the disks in a
hibernation state where it writes data to a hiberfil.sys file.
The typical way around this is to start in Windows and disable the
FastStartup.
It is not necessary to have to use Windows to fix this, but if you are
going to dual boot, then it is best if you disable the Fast Startup feature
Control Panel --> Power Options --> Choose what the power buttons do ->>
Under the "Define power buttons and turn on Password Protection" there
should be an option to "Change settings that are currently unavailable"
At the bottom of that page you should now have a section saying "Shutdown
Settings".
Uncheck the "Turn on fast startup (recommended)"
Save changes.
Noted! Thanks for that :-)
Without using Windows we can check to see what condition the drives are in
(all this is assuming you have the ntfs-3g and the fuseiso packages
Many thanks for this info. I will have a look later today/tomorrow.
Cheers!
TTFN
