Don't expose your laptop to resonating noises, for example loud bass noise from speakers, heavy machinery.

No. Computer hard drives and duplicator hard drives are two separate file systems, so they cannot communicate. The USB and Firewire connections' allow the computer to use the duplicator as a CD external burner. You can use either of those devices to store the data on a disc from a specified CD drive on the duplicator. Once you create that disc, you can use it as your master disc to load into the hard drive and make your duplications. No.

Due to limitations of the Windows boot process it is not possible to boot Windows from an external Firewire or USB drive. It is possible to boot Linux from USB like live-CDs (eg. Knoppix) but if you do a search of this topic on the web you will find that this is not the case for Windows although some limited WinPE applications (e.g. Winternals ERD Commander) do boot from a CD.

I am very impressed at the small preview of this and though it does seem to have some compromises from the touch screen, I”m sold for one basic reason. Its actually useable. Tactile feedback? The touch screen gets rid of that and more. I also rid myself of the feedback from the Verizon people telling me how much money I have to pay to buy music, trade photos or get a phone with email on my phone that never ends up working as advertised.

In computing, there is never enough space on your existing hard drive. As applications take up more space and with video editing, digital photography, and digital music becoming more popular, there is an increased need for hard drive storage. A hard drive enclosure kit allows you to replace your existing hard drive with a larger capacity drive and recycle your old drive for external storage. External storage kits are also popular for mobile computing.

Yes, but as of to date, it's not possible to boot windows from a FireWire or USB drive. It is possible to assign a drive letter to the backup drive with the disk management tool and then copy the data off of that drive should your system drive die. We backup to any drive that is not listed as removable. To the best of our knowledge, USB drives do not show up as removable.

The best answer to this is a firm "maybe". DOS device drivers are available for most USB and Firewire controllers. If such drivers are added to a DOS boot diskette so that your USB or Firewire drive is "seen" by DOS, SpinRite will also be able to "see" and operate with it. However, the performance of the drive through the DOS drivers and the serial (USB/Firewire) cable will likely be far lower than if the external drive were connected directly to a PC's motherboard controller.

Currently, Drive Image 2002 cannot create images to external USB and FireWire devices (such as USB and FireWire CD-RW drives and hard drives).

Yes. The external drive shows up just like CF or hard drive in the File Viewer. Files can be moved to and from it, played, info can be viewed, etc. Additionally, files from at external drive can be copied to internal drives.
