    Moving Windows to New Drive


    I got a new ssd to have as my bootdrive256gb as my hdd2tb was pretty slow. I was wondering if there was anyway to put windows onto by bootdrive along with other common applications while keeping all my other files on the hdd.

    Thanks!

    :)

    I need to move windows to a new hdd

    you are correct, if he already reinstalled windows, he need to reinstall all the programs, he might as well do the same thing on the new drive directly, will be cleaner.

    Moving Windows to New Drive

    how do i move hard drive to new computer?

    intel to intel you have a shot.

    Install the latest intel chipset drivers and it may just work transferring it over - the key is to have teh new sata controllers drivers installed BEFORE moving it over (i normally transfer to a PCI-E SATA-II card i have, then boot the new system on the PCI-E card, install the onboard drivers, and then move to the onboard sata.)

    for clarification on my steps.

    1. install new SATA card/controller in original PC and install drivers
    2. power off, move boot drive to the sata card
    3. boot windows to make sure it works
    4. get new system up, move sata card to it with boot drive attached.
    5. boot windows - a few reboots are always needed to get around the change of hardware
    6. move the boot drive to the new mobos sata ports, and it should work.
