Guess i've Done enough reading...
so i'll post my own little tale which infact happened today...

the guy in question is older than me so he's an oldie..

seems to think we can clone a SCSI HDD from a single cored computer about 5 years+ old and put that cloned image onto an IDE HDD which is brand new dual coreness, he says that hes done it at home and it moaned a few time and just worked...

guess this is me just moaning but meh

anyway i have many more due to being a technician in a school. some times you just want to get the cane out a slap them, but that would give the kids a bad example.
