I finally cloned my system using Casper XP trial edition. Couple of clicks and after 30 mins, I had a cloned harddrive. This was done all under Win XP without boot disks and booting. The new drive got assigned the drive letter "F". I swapped the hard drives and made the clone the primary...

Maybe this has something to do with Janet Jackson's breast exposure incident "investigation" :) Chinook

It was a nice spike about 10 NQ points in a minute! I guess there was a large order that came in and popped lot of stops along the way. Too bad, I closed my long 30 seconds before it! It's OK though since I was following my plan :) Chinook

I have a stable and clean system. I think I might cause more problems trying to install the various drivers each time. I'd rather clone it. This program Casper XP seems to be headache-free. I'll try it next week and give you all my feedback. Chinook

I don't have the new drive in yet but my original drive is a WD too. I went over the the WD support site and they're not supporting having multiple boot disks in the PC. I downloaded Casper XP (30 day trial) and it looks like it can do exactly what I want. I'll try it and if it works, I'll...

Vhehn and Max401, I downloaded Data Lifeguard Tools V. 11.0 and installed it. But it's not running. The error message says it encountered a problem and needs to close! I'm running Win XP Pro. My main mission is to be able to clone my hard drive periodically and have two bootable and...

vhehn, I'm also getting a WD drive but it is OEM--I don't think it'll come with software. Let me know the name of the software, maybe I can download it from their web site. I looked at their download section but I didn't notice data transfer software. Did you make a bootable copy of the...

I'm planning to return my external hard drive because it looks like XP will not boot from it. I'll continue posting in this thread: http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=419227 Chinook

I'm finding out that XP won't boot from an external drive. I'll go with Lancer's suggestion and use a second hard drive in a mobile rack. I'm planning to make an exact clone of my main drive and be able to boot from the second drive if my main drive dies. I'd like to have the flexibility of...

Canyonman00, Will this work with Win XP Pro and USB 2.0 external drive? Are you using win XP? Thanks, Chinook

Thanks guys. I'll get my modem this week. I'll try NetZero this weekend. Chinook

I'm getting an 80MB WD USB 2.0 external drive. I'll use it to clone my PC's hard drive. My aim is to be able to boot from it if my harddrive dies. It looks like Ghost 2003 might not be able to make an external bootable drive. Has anyone tried it? It looks like Casper XP can do this...

I'm about to get a good old 56k modem for my PC. I'm looking for a free dial-up internet access just in case my cable modem connection goes down. I'll use it to check my stops and possibly close positions. NetZero offers free 10 hour/month internet access...

With an LLC, doesn't a trader have to pay social security and some other taxes? Thanks, Chinook

This is the most useful sentence I read in ET. To me the importance of this sentence to trading is equivalent to the role of DNA for living organisms. Chinook

caplan, Welcome to the crazy world of index trading :) About a week before the index futures expire, people start trading futures with the next expiration. So naturally you would do that. Volume in the current month futures will dry up and bid/ask spread will increase. If you hold to your...

Same here. IB connection has been great lately. Chinook

I got curious about this over the weekend. I was wondering what the lag time of VIX and VXN calculations are. When I see a new value for VIX/VXN in my intraday charts, are they reflecting volatility derived from option prices 5 second, 30 second, 1minute ago etc..(assuming no delays between the...

I exactly have the same situation. Since Monday, I talked to customer service twice, did on-line chat once and e-mailed today. It's still showing up after tonight's reset! Chinook
