I found I had a bit of time, so I've swapped the drive back and KWallet is
working again. I'll have another go in due course.
Question. How would people recommend that I do this, in the absence of a
spare drive? I remember installing a new HD some years ago without any major
difficulties, but I can't remember exactly what I did.
I still favour Redo Backup, partly because I used it successfully at work some
years ago. I've realised (belatedly) that the new 1 TB SSD has more than
adequate space on it to write the image to (in a special partition with the
drive installed in the USB Caddy). I could then install the SSD into the PC
and restore the image from the special partition and delete the partition when
finished.
Any better ideas?
