 | I don't know whether more recent tools have figured this out, but around 2003 this was a big problem, in my case with Norton Ghost 2003: never use a backup tool that *compresses* the backup data to reduce storage requirements.

You will find that they can be grouped together into various categories: some statements have to do with declaring variables; some manipulate data (such as assigning a value to a variable); … |
| | Just out of curiosity, how did you obtain the service-and-repair manual, exactly? I have the Ze4600 and all I want to do is reset the BIOS password -- but the process to do that involves taking the whole computer apart to get to the battery and/or reset contact. I've seen … |
