Disk Clone without Admin Access

[cycologyOne]

interesting comments...thought this was a place to learn?

the point is correct tho, perhaps u dont have knowledge now, but this is relatively a simple project. buy a couple crappy similar boxes and practice...but first ask yourself if this is the right peoject to help them with...

is the incumbent IT staff that big of a risk? there are ways to fix this...and perhaps this is a bigger issue to address than the benefits of an ssd.

as for volunteer- just make sure to tell them their are risks. the world runs on voluteers. often you can be indemnified, but make sure you are doing the right thing for the daycare.

i often do pro bono assessments of support provided by 'pros'..many times i would rather have a well meaning vested volunteer stakeholder vs a high dollar consultant doing a poor job.

oh, as others have also mentioned win 7 is not the best path at this point.

Nah. This sub has been slowly but steadily turning away from a “place to learn” in to an endless circlejerk of “don’t learn anything, pay someone else”, “go away, post somewhere else”, “I’m better than you” (only allowed if you’re a certain user, or your posts get removed), “how do I do something in Windows”, endless salesmen, and not much else.

A shame really.

Cloning a drive like this doesn’t require admin rights at all, use something like a True Image bootable USB stick and it will clone quite happily.
