Re: Vista problems after cloning a ST9320421AS to ST9750420AS

After cloning Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail were able to rebuild their databases.

Windows Update still was not working after cloning, MicrosoftFixit50202.msi could not solve the problem either.

Finally MicrosoftFixit.wu.Run.exe did the trick.

 

Seagate needs to improve their instructions for installing Windows Vista or even Windows7 on Advanced Format discs as during installation new drivers may be needed.

 

I was lucky to solve my clone problems with help and patience of a few Dutch guys in another forum.

Cloning a system disc to a new disc is not as easy as Seagate likes me to believe.

Even the above tutorial directs me to the wrong Seagate DiscWizard download.

 

 


 

 

 

In my professional judgment, Seagate should cease to recommend or assist or offer tools for users who clone drives.
