it is already between 25-50 % done after just 45 minutes 

oh damn i just saw i am using a 3 TB HD but i guess i can just resize to it 2 TB or shall i get a 2 TB HD 

Michael. You can actually use BM5 for the cloning process. I used Hirens Boot CD installed on a USB memory stick and attached external display to BM5 and used Patition Magic on Hirens Boot CD. See my post in this tread page one. And Google Hirens for procedure to make the USB stick

have fun ;-)

Hi,

well actually the clone box says the clone is finished now i just need to resize the HD 

anyone than recommend a good program for that either for windows or mac is it freeware 

well let you know about my progress 

cheers 

Michael 

well the clone said it was done but.

when i start the Beo5 it starts with the normal screen wait the 9 seconds and then it flashes a blue screen and then it restarts 🙁

dont know if it is cause it is a 3 TB HD with around 2 TB of unused space haven't found the program to use yet to merge / resize the partition 

any idea what can have gone wrong ?

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately, as I mentioned in an earlier post, 2TB is the upper limit as XP is unable to address anything larger than that. It doesn't matter that the partitioned space is below 2TB as XP will still be unable to boot from a larger disk.

Kind regards

Martin.

ok i will order a 2 TB HD right away 

thanks alot again again and again [:)😁

Michael

No worries.

It's the western digital WD20EURX 2TB AV-GP HDD that I used as it is the same series as the 1TB disk that B&O install. Others should work but I felt sticking with the same drive series would help to eliminate any possible problems, especially since some of the higher rpm drives can be both noisy and generate more heat.

I would recomment installing an SSD and put Music on NAS. I have done that over a year ago and BM5 is very responsive as it is suppposed to be but never was with the original HDD. My SSD is a 256 GB one and its fine for the systems but no Music files. All on NAS and it works as a charm

Hi,

well i have considered that but i have right now a Qnap TS-251 with around 44000 flac files on and when it comes to 17000 files no more covers been talking alot with B&O about it not that it helped so much 

been trying for 2 weeks to get it to work but i have given up but if it works with a 256 GB ssd with all my files i will serious consider that 

Micthecat have many files do you have with covers etc etc 

cheers 

Michael
