MS750 Clone

Register to hide this ad
You have an MSxxx loaded with ripped CD's and you want to "clone" or "copy" the entire drive contents to a brand new MS750.
 
I have backed up everything on an external hard drive and then transferred it all back to a new one... It took a lot of time though....
 
Hmmm I don't know how to do that. I would call the help line on Monday. If it can be done they would know....

Ivan is the help line. :)

Remove the HDD, ghost it to 1.5tb drive, reinsert 1.5 tb drive, invent MS1.5K.

That is what I figured, ghosting it would be much faster than any other way.
 
I have norton ghost 2003, I plan on ghosting the MS300 hard drive to a 750 gb hard drive. I will use the cloning feature. I will then save the 300 gb drive as a backup for the MS300 operating system.

Let me know how you make out.
 
I believe I saw of pic of Dan's MS750 in the nude that was posted somewhere here and It was a IDE .
 
I have had my MS750 open for the fan upgrade. The hard drive is not SATA.

I'm not a computer technician, but just a thought. If you swap a hard drive in a computer, the BIOS has to be reconfigured to recognize the new drive, its size, sectors, etc. It would seem to me that just swapping a 1.5TB hard drive in place of a 750GB hard drive would require a BIOS upgrade for the MS750 (or MS300) to recognize the hard drive before it will operate.

side note...since you got that Sonos hooked up to your MS750.....are you using the Sonos Controller to access your library on the MS750 or the monitor I saw in one of your pics?:scratch2:

Yes, you are correct. You need to the format software for a MS300 to recognize a 750gig hard drive. The correct 750g hard drive is a Seagate DB35 Series ST3750840ACE hard drive it is ATA version, not SATA

They seem to be discontinued, but can be found for about $187

'cisco.......When I am listening to my MS750, the Sonos controller will not control the server. I use the monitor with the MS750 along with its remote control, or I use my computer interface when I am in the office, as I just did to play a Dan Siegel CD.

The Sonos controller lets me access all the MS750 files, including cover art, when I am listening to the Sonos, but I don't listen to the MS750 FLAC files through the Sonos on my main system. The MS750 is right there, and in A/B comparisons the MS750 is my preference. I do listen to the MS750 FLAC files through the Sonos ZP120 driving JBL speakers on my deck outside. If I decide to add a Sonos ZP90 to the studio system downstairs, I will listen to the the FLAC files from the MS750 hard drive on the studio system since I do not have a MS750 music server in that system.
 
Dan,

You access FLAC files with your Sonos that are on a hard drive associated with our computer right? You can't access the FLAC files that are on the MS750 with the Sonos right?

Just trying to figure this all out..

Thanks,

Michael

Yes, you definitely can access the FLAC files on a networked MS300/750 via a Sonos. Dan is just saying he doesn't choose to access the FLAC files on his MS750 when he is listening to his main system where the MS750 is because he prefers the sound of the MS750 outputting its FLAC files to the MCD500.
