Can someone give instructions STEP BY STEP? I unlocked and upgraded to the Z3 on my Toshiba 60gb hard drive. I have Acronis True Image Home (trial version) downloaded on my computer, as well as the 2.5" to 3.5" Hard Drive adapter (both the IDE and USB). But all the posts I've read thus far has not been too helpful.
Can somebody please shed some light? If not I guess I'll have to settle for less music on my Z3...
See my posts in this thread:
Thanks for the response but I haven't used Acronis much so I'm a little lost.
I have the Z3 hd plugged in and when I click on My Computer, I see the TFAT D, TFAT E, TFAT F and TFAT G.
After I open Acronis and click on "Backup and Restore" it says "No items on display". I click on "Operations" on the top and click "Restore" and I get a new pop up screen that says "Restore Wizard" which also says "No items on display". I click "Browse" and I see the D, E, F and G drive. And that's as far as I can get.... I can't seem to select any folders and when I click on the D it opens all the other folders. I don't think I'm heading in the right direction.
Any help would be appreciated.
Have you downloaded the Z3 image? You can only use acronis to expand the partition during the image restore process. If not, someone else may be able to help, as I only know the way that I do it.
Yes, I've already downloaded the Z3 image. I did unlock it so theoretically, I can wipe it off and put the image back on. When I did burn the image, I started the process and left my apt, so I don't know how long it took. How long do you think it would take to erase and redo?
No need to erase the drive, as Acronis will ask you if you want to remove all parititions. It depends on your computer speed. It takes me about 12 minutes to image a drive with Acronis.
Did you get it to work?
No, I didn't... I'm embarrassed to say I couldn't. I got the Z3 working; just not the expanded hard drive. For me, it was more about knowing that I could do it (follow directions, which clearly I can't)
I'm not too concerned about maxing out the hd though, cause when I went from the Z1 to the Z2 upgrade, I noticed that I burned a total of 3 cd's. I use the XM and the iPod for the most part. Maybe in the spring, when it gets warmer, I'll give it another crack.
