Trade your hd7 for an android device on your carrier is the easiest way. Or buy a tablet like me and have them both.

You'll be better off trading it and researching your next phone before buying it.

How do I make a "nandroid" of my computer?

I haven't wiped my computer in 6 years.
I'm about to reformat my hard drive and start fresh but want to make a restore image just in case.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If your on linux just run dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/place/you/want/it
then to restore just switch if and of. That's what I do. Might work on a Mac too. On windows.. get a Linux live CD and do that?

I have cloned hard drives with driveImage xml. It should make a solid copy of your hdd.

There is a tutorial out there somewhere. Hope this helps.

I have the original disk, I'm looking to make a backup image of my hard drive as it is now.
I'm planning to do a clean install of XP pro, just looking to do the exact same thing as making a nandroid backup of my phone.

Buy a new computer already and switch to 7?

7 annoys me. It's too user friendly and all the controls are hidden behind wizards.
I'm thinking of buying a new computer but since it's been 6 years without a wipe I'm sure this one can run faster.
But that is not the point of this thread.

To answer the OP there are several products for creating a Disk Image. Acronis make a good one:
http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/
Vista/Windows 7 have built in imaging capability but as you're on XP you'll have to pay for something. If you're doing a fresh install though, i don't see the benefit of imaging your drive as it is now. It would make sense to do it after you've reinstalled and re-configured your OS so that you have a clean image to go back to in future. What can you do with an image of an old, tired install?
Perhaps you'd just be better off just backing up all of your important data onto a spare drive and forgetting about the image?

Good. Then the noobs will change settings less.

Honestly I would just run a quick google search (recovery disk/iso for model#) if you can't find any free or cheap available for your model then I would stick to the recovery software option.. there's too many to count but you can usually find free trials for these recovery tools. If not, send me a PM.

Thanks for that. At recommendations from several sources it looks like DriveImageXML is the best place to start.
On a separate note I'm thinking going Linux. From what I've read it sounds like it's community built and supported, much like CM. If that's the case I'm sure I'll love it.

Spamming the board and asking for things to break the rules, won't get you much answers. Just saying.
Good Lock!

You realize you are insinuating in an open forum your desire to procure illegal software?

Pretty clear that you haven't read much about rooting, so do that and ask again next week.

I think you misunderstand me quite a bit. I know plenty about rooting. This has nothing to do with rooting. ( i assume your referring to permission denied error) im not a noob. This error occurs in conjunction with terminal emulator saying the ubuntu img is corrupted. Its not. Anyways i was just looking for confirmation to see if anyone had actually got ubuntu for android working on n7000 and any advice they might have with this issue im running into

its all good thank you though! im really surprised this isnt more widespread. i had to actually go looking for the idea of putting a desktop OS on an android phone in google to find it. i figured the CM team and well heck everyone would be all over this. imagine replacing your laptop/desktop with just your phone. you dock your phone and poof ubuntu is up on your monitor. the true mobile desktop.
EDIT: not to mention your phone would be charging on this dock as you use it....GENIUS! and imagine if everyone had this dock solution, you could use your phone at any of your friends/ families/ schools/ work/ etc...

Buddy, I 2 m trying 2 do so for last 5 months... But no success yet... M not demoralising u but there is no way you can run ubuntu smoothly on SGN

Off-topic Linux thread!

Haven't seen one here so I decided to make one.
This thread is for talk about any thing Linux. Whether it be a distro, a kernel, OS, mobile Linux, anything! Keep on the topic of Linux, but feel free to talk about anything Linux!
Let me start and tell you my experience with Linux:
It started when my home computer got a virus while I was using Windows 7, tried everything to get it back. I got a recovery disk; nothing, I tried downgrading to xp; virus still persisted. I thought, let me try and use this thing (I called Linux a thing because I didn't know the word OS) a teacher recommended me trying. So I tried to install the latest build (at the time) of ubuntu, 11.04. The problem was that the screen was dim and nothing would be visible. So I had a friend come over who claims to be computer smart (not smart at all) and he said, "why not try an earlier version?" I thought "genius," so I installed it and I started using it. I loved it! It was easy to use and it was virus free! And now I am a happy user (from time to time because I need Windows for video editing) of the latest version of Linux ubuntu!

Also, Archer does not appreciate if one starts a thread, and does not initially contribute to it. Simply stating, "This the official OT thread, discuss people!!" Does not count as an initial contribution.
I see that you edited your OP. I retract my statement where I said you did not contribute to your own thread.

I kind of agree. Linux is an entire different animal than Winders, so it should have it's own thread.
But with the powers that be moving individual device O/T threads here, it'll just get lost in the clutter.

Some of us have tried it. We've tried to like it. The tablet interface needs to stay on tablets. It's not being afraid or resistant to change, it's that doesn't work well in the enterprise area, or is not ergonomically acceptable when it comes to touch screen lap/desktops.
The Metro interface is a reverse of what MSFT has done in the past. Instead of shoe-horning a desktop UI into a mobile device, they're trying to put the mobile device UI onto the desktop. Doesn't work that well in either instance.

It's just the start screen. The desktop I'd still there.

They both are good in there own way, but ubuntu in the future is going to be the dominate OS with Windows next and Mac third.

Not really. With legacy apps, yes. Not with the newer apps that they're trying to push.

But the point is you don't have to use the " apps"

MSFT is pushing for it. They want software to go through them like Apple does with their store.
Yes, most software isn't Metro'ed yet, but some things I would use in Windows just might eventually go that way.

This isn't a Microsoft thread. STFU about Microsoft.
Anyway, has anyone tried Elementary OS Luna? It's still in beta but I think it's great.

I looked at some reviews of it... Joli OS? It's cool, a cloud OS, you need to register annd you can acces your OS from any browser, or you can boot it off a flash drive,or install it to your hard drive...:thumbup:

For most consumers that's a good thing. I think there's always going to be a disconnect between Linux users and mainstream consumer needs. Not that I don't agree but MS is a business and Apple has invented a successful money farm that any business would be happy to replicate.

How would you guys rate Fedora? I'm thinking about trying it.
