My concern over Gildas is what data are they taking? If they are not asking for $$$, then how do they make...

I prefer to save the page as a 'single page' html file. The ALT Key save function will save as a series of files within a folder.

Hi.

Thanks for all the responses.

Yes I thought duplicate UUID's might be an issue. But I would think that a cloned disk would at least show up as a bootable option when I hit F12 on my DELL....
