new idea for running hyperspin when your motherboard dies

[nathan1974au]

my mother board died yesterday in the cab! now you know the story when have to re install windows and setup every thing again, knowing if you use the original drive from the old board it will get the blue screen of death.

 

I've decided to create a bootable hard drive using windows live cd like Linux live! and set up hyperspin on that. so if future boards break down it's just easy to swap out boards retaining a fully working hard drive that works as a plug n play device.

That's a pretty neat idea, how do you do that?  I hope my computer lasts long enough for me to be able to get another 2TB drive to just do a full image backup of it.

I'm going to use a small partition on a one terabyte external hdd format it to fat32 turning it to a bootable partition. them moving windows live cd iso contents downloaded from a torrent to new bootable partition. the remainder of the drive will be set to NTFS, this is where ill setup me hyperspin backup!

then just setup configure the live contents to suit what hyperspin needs. after I"m done it should be able to boot from any computer system I want!

windows xp is fine to do a swap if your motherboard fails. but unfortunately if you have vista and above you have to reinstall system on a new board!. better to back up your hyperspin files to a external drive instead of a image.
