    Forgot to include the boot/system volume. It’s a lovely time waster when you’re dealing with disk images that are hundreds of gigabytes in size that have to be copied over the network. 😆

    I’ll add Disk2hvd screenshots when I get a sec.

    Situation gets slightly more complicated if you had multiple drives in your system when you installed Windows, of course. Installer might put system volume on a different drive, so you’d have to image more than one drive to get a working system. Might get a little confusing as to which volumes should go in which image. There’s a tool called GWMI that might help with that since afaik the volume guids don’t show up in the Windows Disk Management snap-in.

    Edit: The promised screenshot. In my case, I knew the volume labelled SYSTEM resided on the same disk as my C: drive. Probably don’t have to include the recovery partition, strictly speaking, but I did.










  • Worst example is friend who, after being hospitalized for accident while car surfing, died car surfing again. I wasn’t present for either event.

    Second worst is dude with head injury (unrelated) started talking about crystals and toxins and juice fasting. Called him out one day, and it was catastrophic. This one is still alive, at least AFAIK.

    Third, divorce. You will find out who your real friends are when you get divorced.










  • If by graphics card you mean 3D hardware acceleration, then it was a Canopus Pure 3D. It was equivalent to the first Voodoo add-in card but IIRC it had 6 MB of RAM instead of 4. It wasn’t a standalone card so it had a VGA passthrough from your 2D card when it wasn’t active.

    As for 2D cards, idk. Unless it was pro reference grade like Matrox I don’t remember EGA and CGA cards being branded.
