Partitioning and formatting with Disk Manager will erase all the drive data of course, so make sure there isn't anything on there you want to keep and that you select the correct drive.
If the other computer doesn't see it either, you may need to partition and format it with Windows Disk Manager which you should also be able to do with your G73SW if the 'new D drive' is still installed there. What are some good, powerful new ASUS laptops?Īpologize if I'm not understanding correctly, but if you haven't tried connecting your 'new D drive' via USB to another computer (which I'm assuming is empty), you may want to check that too. 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.
