HoFL Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Oh no! Did you have backup? Or do you have a long day ahead of you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_poon Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 It's all alright thanks HoFL. It was both backed up and lengthly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoFL Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 If you were interested (and have a spare HDD of that same size) in making an image of your hard drive you could use a free application called Macrium Reflect. LINK HERE There are other applications, but that one is free and easy to use. The plus side to creating an image is there is no extra config after a restore as long as nothing changed. So you would need to get your arcade box !00% "perfect" before capturing the image. The downside, if you did mark changes after you captured the image, you would need remake those changes after restoring the image. Anyway, i'm glad you are up and running.

2bluefish Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 ^good advice, it takes a lot of work to make everything play nicely so I may end up doing exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1pilot Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I was half expecting this topic to be about a Kia commercial... I guess advertising does work. Glad to hear that you had a backup. I always create images of my computers (side effect of having to re-install Windows multiple times over the years), so my arcade hard drive is no exception.
