You "may" hear a snap when the SATA cable is securely connected to the motherboard.

No need for the BIOS at this time.

Hello. I want to let you know today my Cyberpower PC has a new Hard Drive! If it weren't for all the infomation that you all provided I would not have my PC up and running. After watching D. go through the steps to get it cloned, I realize that it is not a major deal, it actually looked quite easy. (of course you have to have the right information to accomplish it) Apparently I learn mostly by vision/hands on. So Boomers.............thank you so much for the tips, directions, the videos and diagrams and most of all for your patience. I know that was a long and arduous journey for you.
I truly appreciate your help!
Ok now........ GROUP HUG!

Yay! Double yay! Now, aren't you glad you didn't just get a new one!

I remember the cloning part itself was pretty easy. It was all the steps leading up to it that were a bit harrowing.

I'm glad to hear it's working now.
Be careful not to get it infected.

Absolutely glad you got it up and working

Thanks again Boomers......
Jenny I appreciate your vote of confidence. lol ( u know me well)
Drac. Yep, cost me $50.00 and 5 years off my life.
Inland Thanks for the thumbs-up.
When we bought the Sata cable the other day at Best Buy the Geeks said they would do it for $100.00 and again, that was for files, no programs. I wonder why they keep saying no programs? It's a retorical question, I think.

Maybe they'd never heard of cloning...
