Great thoughts guys, oh boy just home from work after 12 hours now I get to spend my weekend loading crap lol, I am a believer in if a hard drive has a problem do not want to spend 2 days reloading a hard drive I do not have any confidence in just not worth it, also an image to me is a band aid you know if it wasn't for fsx I wouldnt care but the system has to be at its very best to have a decent fsx install again anyway reloading ask we speak excellent lol now I have to rememember all the win 7 tweaks bios updates and all dam, thnaks for all the content provided by you guys great learnings for sure.

Terribly sorry to hear about your misfortune! Good luck and hope to hear more from you soon :)All the best,

Thanks Brandon appreciate it, guess I will watch the forums as I load my rig up :) cant wait to see fsx tell me I have to get a new serial number lol

Hang in there you wil be fine, sometimes things are meant to happen but they work out even bettter, so just take it easy we miss you repaints thats for sure and United thanks you so much Rich. and feel better if that helps.Warm wishes, Ronny

Hi my friend just installed fsx all patchs getting to the addons stage, so may be back in buisness soon after starliner want to do 700 United gray blue, sound good Ronny hope your doing fine talk to you later have to get fpslimiter working forgot how to do it, just loaded java but gui wont run ?Regards

Richard, sorry to hear about the HHD. Silver lining is that you can start fresh and clean. I also had a "minor glich" with my main win7 C: boot SSD. Basically, my OCZ 120G Vertex2 SSD died. (research the OCZ Vertex2 before you buy!)I say minor because my ENTIRE multi drive SSD and HDD platform was saved as a Win7 System image. I replaced the defective OCZ SSD with an Intel 120 510 Sata 6 SSD (a 1 day delivery and a 5 minute install), booted from the Win7 Repair disk and simply loaded my entire platform from the system image stored on one of my storage 1T HDDs in approx 30 minutes. End result is I was back to where I was as if the drive failure never happened. I would like to reiterate to all FSX simmers the importance of capturing a system image backup (regardless of which software you use) so that you can recover quickly and painlessly in the likely event that you will have hardware problems one day. Recreating a highly tweaked, optimized and endless list of addons FSX install/platform is like doing a 3000+ jigsaw puzzle over and over again!!!By you sharing your experience, others might benefit! Also, I wanted to thank you for your dedication with the liveries you have produced. It is folks like you that make this "sport" enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your skills with the community.
