Folks, I've a laptop here who didn't' like Win 7. No big deal I've an XP Image that I made with Acronis True Image Home 11.0. I can't get narrator to run let alone a screen reader, (even System Access won't install), I suspect because of a display driver. Sounds there and Narrator will run at the log-on screen. So, I ordered a IDE/SATA/USB pack. Thinking no problems, connect to drive to a desktop and re-image on there, then put the drive back in the laptop with XP back on it and all will be good. Failed because the little adaptor I had to connect onto the other end of the IDE controller that I connected to the laptop HD so I could plug the standard 3.5 IDE HD in seems to be broke, because the drives not powering up. Whither data is connected or not. What a jigsaw eh, when you can't see the miserable screen. So, options options please. I can't also remember the name of that adaptor that lets me use the 3.5 IDE HD power source so I can order a replacement one. I think it might have been simpler to have just bought a laptop drive hd enclosure, but this cable pack is going to be handy for other situations. I've a deadline of 15 Nov to get this laptop re-imaged back to XP. Cheers all! Barry.
