Hello,
I had another thread, Laptop won't boot windows . It worked great for awhile but the laptop kept slowing down, so bad that once a week I would have to run disk check. Then about two weeks ago windows wouldn't load my profile instead it would load a "temporary profile". I couldn't save anything, or do a disk check because it wouldn't save/remember my selection. So I heeded AustrAlien's advice, which I'm hoping isn't to late, and purchased a new hard drive and sata/ide to usb adapter. Here I am ready to clone my old drive to my new one, but I think this hard drive is trying to make this process harder than it needs to be. I initially was going to log into the laptop and post onto to the thread I originally had, but it got closed by a mod, and ask how to clone a hard drive. But the laptop now only boots into startup repair. :facepalm:
