But I would like to stick with the ASUS brand. Since Microsoft screwed up WIndows 10 so badly with recent updates, I am VERY reluctant to go to WIndows 10. If I were to purchase a new laptop, what are some of the latest, best ASUS machines on the market right now? What would you recommend? I am not much into gaming, but need high performance mainly for Photoshop image editing and andio and video editing. It still runs Windows 7 without any problems. The clone seemed to be successful, except for the drive not being recognized in the BIOS. The new disc that I cloned to is a Samsung SSD 860 EVO. The EaseUS Todo Backup program seemed to work just fine. I used to use Acronis True Image, but this program is too problematic, giving me error messages whenever I try to clone. *įor the cloning of the C hard drive I used a program called EaseUS Todo Backup Home v 11.5. Steer clear of budget bargain basement drives as they can even be problematic on current machines. *I can’t speak for this one but one model newer the G74sx I had and replaced the spinner with a Samsung 850 pro SSD. May be that they are just not compatible. Secondly what drives are you trying to replace with and how did you clone/set up. What the heck is going on here? Any ideas on how to fix this? I flashed the BIOS on the first machine to no avail.įirstly this model is 8 years old, an eternity in the PC world.* No amount of manipulation in the BIOS seems to be able to change that. If I enter the BIOS setup, however, the old C drive still appears and not the new one. I can then select the new drive from the list and boot up into WIndows. If I reboot and tap the ESC key, I get a small BIOS-like screen where the new cloned C drive actually does appear. However on boot up I get the error message that there is no MBR to be found. With the second G73SW laptop I recently cloned a copy of the System C drive and swapped it out. If I connect this D drive via USB, I can access all of my files and folders just fine. The problem is that this new D drive is not recognized by the BIOS, so it does not appear in WIndows Explorer or Device Manager. In the first laptop I simply replaced the secondary D drive, which contains all of my data. I have 2 ASUS G73SW laptops, both of which have recently developed a strange problem.
