helping him get it set up over FB.

so far its a lot faster than his old drive, and working well. HDtune showed up his old drive has a lot of reallocated sectors, which could be why its performance was erratic.

Nice, two pages to install a basic hard drive!

DDD, why can't you make a bootable USB? Do you need instructions?

de.das.dude · Aug 13, 2013

i want to use the wdidle, but i can seem to make the iso one into my pendrive...

all the tutorials fail me. imma bit of a boob when it comes to storage.

To be honest it's never let me down and i just had to make sure one of the drives were a WD.

In fact acronis performance has made me thinking of actually buying the software it's worked so well

DDD, I have an acronis live disk I can share out to you so you can clone. It works very well and my last job used it to clone all our drives

He can just use the one of there site as long as he is using a WD drive.

If you really want to keep your Windows installation intact, here's what you have to do. Install another copy of Windows in your old drive. Then disconnect the old HDD physically and connect the new one. Insert your Win 7 disk. Make a OS partition and make sure the System Reserved partition is created. Restart machine and connect the old drive again and boot the new installation with it. Copy all the files and folders from the root of the previous Windows installation to the partition you just created on your new drive(exclude System Volume Information, Page file etc(make sure protected system files are shown and hidden files are shown)). After copy is complete, shut down system and remove the old drive again. Boot with the Windows disk again and click repair your computer. After it is done, boot again with the Windows disk and click repair your computer again. Click startup repair. After repair is complete, system will reboot. Cross your fingers and watch.

i decided to reinstall OS. been more than a year anyways. would be nice.. never fully reinstalled after getting new mbo ram and stuff

anyways, FYI,,the WD one will work, you can set partition size in the new disk too, but... if there are already partitions there, bye bye data.

it cant write to a premade partition.

the only reason i wanted to transfer the os was of steam, but steam is portable as mussled pointed out, and its working just fine!
