ML-1's have a 3 year warranty... so it will just take a little longer to get screwed.
However, I do see your point....
What do we need to do to clone it?
Wouldn't I have to buy a 'MERIT' drive for it too work in the game?
If you wanted a copy for forensic purposes...wouldn't it need to be a MERIT drive too?

Ion 2014 software does not need "MERIT" hard drives to run. It does check, but only to trigger the non official hard drive warning. It will still install and run perfectly fine. Even better if your using a SSD hard drive.
I would assume the live software does not require a "MERIT" hard drive either.
If you want to clone the hard drive, the best way would be to remove it and connect it to a different computer as a slave drive and use a dos clone utility like ghost for linux (G4L). Im sure there are many others, its just one that ive used for years.

I am willing to try and copy the drive for the both of us but the new software is still being implemented and I would need to ' borrow' a game from a location to do it and would also need more info on how...so it will be some time before that happens.
Are you saying I can buy something like this and install it in an ION and have it run fine?

Yes that hard drive will work with the ASUS and INTEL Motherboards. The purple ECS motherboard would need a IDE-SATA adapter.
Let me know when you are able to pull the hard drive on a ML-1 and i will step you through it.

or u could do it this way,which is even cheaper and a win win for you at the end run
usb to ide/sata stand alone harddrive duplicator
now before any one goes off on me note the :usb: part
that is so u can set the unit to copy to cdrom in your putter if u so wish,and or
to a .dir of your liking..
