  1. Yes, I figured that the SSD should be reserved for just the OS and any other "critical" system files, but for some reason I managed to fill all 64G's of the original SSD. I will try to make sure that all other non-operational data goes into the D drive...
  2. Thanks again guys. As of now my laptop is running off of a cloned copy of my original 64G Toshiba SSD. I went to Fry's and instead of a docking station or duplicator they just pointed me to some software and a USB cable that cloned my original SSD in under an hour. The only thing I had to do was install a spacer plate between the hard drive cage and the new drive as it's smaller (7mm) than the original drive. Of course, now I'm thinking I should've gotten a bigger SSD than the 120G Toshiba I bought lol. Anything I need to look out for? Are there any tests I should run to see if this clone is good to go? Next month I will start looking at replacements for the secondary hard drive. Again, thanks for your help everyone...
  3. I should've been more specific; my Toshiba came with an SSD primary drive from the factory, however it's only 64G's so it ran out of room very quickly. It was my hope that I could just clone my current SSD to a newer, larger SSD, swap it in and call it a day. I plan to do the same thing to the secondary hard drive, but that's only a standard mechanical drive. I'd like to bump that up to 1tb instead of the measly 500G's I have now. How do I know if the drive will fit my machine for sure? Are all of the 2.5" drives the same? Does it matter if my machine uses SATA 2 and the only drives I can find are SATA 3? Are there any brands to stay away from? Thanks again guys...
  4. Thank you both, gentlemen; now I will go about picking an SSD and regular drive...
  5. You mean an adapter like this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812156102 So then I just plug the adapter into a USB port on my laptop, the other end to the SATA port on the new drive and copy away?
  6. I'm sure this mini-series is a test of the waters for bringing 24 back to a more dedicated time slot....
  7. All you need is the right back pack and some time to get accustomed to carrying around a monster laptop and you'll be good; I don't even notice the heft of my Toshiba anymore. I hope your purchase works out for you! In any case, it's been forever since I've had to duplicate a hard drive (PATA days), buy my aforementioned Toshiba laptop is running out of space on its secondary HD; what're the acceptable methods of cloning/copying a hard drive these days? Someone was telling me about an enclosure or a dock or something where I place both the original and replacement hardrives inside of, press a button and then voila! I'd have a duplicate drive to use. Any other suggestions? My laptop uses SATA 2 if it matters...
  8. Yeah, I've put a lot of time into re-watching seasons 7 and 8...
  9. Well as I suspected 24 invariably fell back on its familiar plot points; I'm foggy on my 24 lore but most of you will recognize the types of people and the situations used in previous seasons. Nevertheless, it's great to see Jack back in action against the impossible mission. Go Jack!
  10. Thank you sir! Getting the car to run properly again was truly awesome. My Dodge Charger brothers hate me for this, but I actually like the new Charger. In my opinion it is the correct blend between the 2nd Generation's classic, timeless, era-defining styling fused with modern touches. If I had the money, I'd buy a new Charger R/T with the right wheels, spoiler and park it besides my '69. So...do they just leave that Mustang on the roof, or what?
  11. I haven't slept for a while now but I found and fixed the engine-miss problem and had to celebrate with a Sunday morning drive; who needs sleep?
  12. Parker Lewis Can't Lose was an awesome show...
  13. Kowabunga dude-that looks horrid. Oh by the way, someone please tell Megan Fox that Brazzers Inc. is now willing to see her about possible future work...
  14. Man-Faye, of course...
  15. Who cares if the newer actors are a bunch of no-names. If I ever see Johnny Depp whip out a light saber or Christian Bale force-choke somebody on screen I would have to go postal somewhere...
  16. Good work, man. That video should be good enough to convince anyone still on the fence about the ship...
  17. Yes, Desslok's voice actor made being a bad guy cool...
