(System Image Recovery is for recovery purposes primarily, though.)

Recommendations? Implicated norms? Alex, come on, now. Just because something is recommended for a particular drive does not mean that it will carry over to the next.

I still prefer the very simplicity of "insert DVD, run Setup, run migration software" that Samsung does provide. Simplicity itself can be a very different thing from person to person, and for a non-technical person or a person that just wants to get things done, that, in fact, is the most straightforward option. No risk of losing data, either!

The open-source NT equivalent of dd is... dd. (There's a port of it.)

But, seriously, you usually do NOT need to have dd in a normal Windows system. Need to write zeroes to something? Use the regular full format command. Need to clone a disk image? System Image Recovery. Restore? System Image Recovery. All Windows built-ins, some since Vista, others since 7.

The "norm" does not really matter in this particular case. If it's recommended by the manufacturer, period, it's recommended. I wouldn't advise using other methods if only to do things with the minimum amount of steps, not some kind of fancy personal pandering.

I'm just a very "get things done" person. I hate talking about that kinda philosophy. Heck, I'm OK with a lot of things so long as they aren't "bad" bad.

The thing is, it is probably easier and more reliable if you just do what you are supposed to do in the first place.

I have found that overanalyzing EULAs is not a good thing.

Freedom and efficiency are great.

It would be even nicer, though, if one just provided something that exactly does what a user needs, no more, no less, huh?

You really like complicated instructions, no?

I thought so too. Not to mention GSC used Cooltrainer but in HGSS they used Ace Trainer.

I think they were renamed to Ace Trainer after 4th gen, I always figured they were the same trainers who carry superly poweful pokemon.

They were always a bit...competitive so to speak. In ORAS they're more nicer imo. lol.

Can imagine your struggle.. :( Wish I could help out a little more. But you're a strong guy, good luck! No problem. n~n

Just read your post in the help thread. I'll be thinking about you even if I can't directly help out - it sounds like you're going through a lot right now. Stay strong, Alex. :c

Aye, O'aka was the best merchant, now he's the prettiest of songs. Ahh, such a beautiful little *****.

I'm not really sure what the previous comment was about. I don't really have much to say tbh.

You're not up to date on the new ORAS art, are you? xD
