    I have been doing some in-house cleaning of my HDDs and after all was clean i decided to make a bootable copy of my "C" drive, all goes well untill near the end of the cloning when XXclone says it is checking diskette "A", now this represents a floppy that i do not have so naturally i do not have any data on it but XX can not get past it.
    I can not delete it from the "C"drive so i am at an impasse.
    Any suggestions please?

    Hi Bill

    Try going into your BIOS and disable the floppy and also if its in the startup list remove it, then save and exit the BIOS and see how you go.

    It did not work David.
    I disabled the floppy in Bios but it is the same result.

    The same result.

    If i use "rename" it will let me rename the file but not let me change the letter (A to Z)

    The target drive is a separate HDD, I have tried to do it on more than one and it always stalls at the same place.

    If you can't solve this, and you are not 64-bit, you could try the free version of Easeus Partition Master. That will clone a whole drive in a single operation.

    @ digital i did that on the last try but it came out just the same.

    @Earthling I am 64 bit windows 7 ultimate andf i have a fully paid up version of Easeus but i wanted to try XXclone and now i am damned if i will let it win.
