  1. New windows, old drives help..


    I'll try to explain. My old ssd C: drive died. I got a new ssd, installed a fresh windows 10. I also have (had) an E and F drive.
    From my old install, all of my docs, pics and such were actually on my E drive.
    I finally got my E drive to work with the new install, so now my question is, how do I get my new c:drive windows install to recognize all of my docs, pics and stuff on the E drive?
    I don't know how to point it in the right direction and say, "Hey C Drive, here's all the stuff on the E Drive!"

    Any advice would be awesome! Thank you and Happy New Year!

    Replacing old hard drive, need way to copy Windows installation across

    Hey Guys,
    What would be the best way of copying/imaging the entire contents of an old system drive over to a replacement hard disk for the same machine? I need to copy the Windows installations and all other data to the new drive, and then format the old drive to use as a backup.

    Any suggestions? *Smile New windows, old drives help.. :)
