Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Don't partion cloning programs usually just wipe the existing partition and put the saved one over the top ? so it would not matter what was there before hand , afterwards it would be NTFS.

I haven't used a recent version of ghost so I don't know if it can merge the existing data on the drive with the data on the image.

It'll be back as NTFS, I believe, as it overwrites at a lower level(As Cap'n' said)... but um, why FAT + XP?
