Move OS From HDD To SSD?
Aug 23, 2012
Currently i have my OS on my old HDD, i bought new SSD and i now i need to move the whole OS (win 7 oem version) to the new SSD so i can close and open it faster. How do i do that?please show step by step ( give pics if possible)Plus, i tried to format my old HDD and it said that the HDD is containing the Windows version i am using, so i guess after i move my OS to the SSD i can format the HDD right? If so, how can i format the HDD? When i right click on the C drive, i see the open "format" but i dont know what to do after that.

Win 7 Freecell "sticks" The cards don't move when you try to move them. If you keep trying you get the message "freecell is not responding" or "problem with freecell executable". Could this have anything to do with a recent Norton upgrade? I have tried turning windows games on and off and it doesn't help. If so, where can I get a clean reinstall?

I have a desktop with a 250GB HDD that has Vista Ultimate installed on it. I recently added a 64GB SSD and installed 7 Professional on it. All is working well as a dual boot system, but at this point I would like to format the 250GB drive and use it for data storage. Problem is that since it was the original drive when I added the SSD and Windows 7, I believe that the MBR is on that drive. When I physically disconnect it, I get a message to put in my 7 install disk, but when I to try to repair it, it shows no OS to repair.So, can I move, change or create a new MBR on the SSD or am I going to need to just do another clean install of 7 on the 64GB drive without the 250GB drive attached, then attach it and format it?

The problem is that installing from the CD works fine untill a certain point of the installation and then it it fails, done it several times and breaks at same place each time... Thats why I have to try and fix it some other way, and thats is why I tried the following.So, removed the HDD from her computer, removed all HDD from my own computer, pluged in her HDD, Installed Windows 7 on her HDD on my computer with same CD.As soon as installation was done, shut down and removed HDD, no internet plugged in and no uppdates done or anything in that way.Everything worked fine no problems at all.Removed the HDD from my computer, plugged it in to her computer, fixed boot order, compuer finds HDD in Bios, when it wants to boot from it.All that happens is "Verifying DMI Pool Data...Update Success" then the compuer just stands there for several minuts and nothing happens.Im guessing that we have differnt motherboards, CPU, and all that, is there any way I can make it work ?I have started with Windows 7 CD, and tried to do "repair" but there is nothing to repair so that dint help either.
-CD problems = No
-HDD broken = No
So Im looking for some help that can make the HDD work on her computer.Is there some way of software or file edeting I can do to make this work ?

I can't move more than one folder at the same time. Also, when I move that one folder, just the contents in the folder move - not the folder itself. How do I do this? I want to move a number of consecutive folders at once. I should mention that these folders are subfolders of the Windows folder.

Copying and pasting files is easy. But how do I move files so they no longer appear in original location. The time has come for me to make some room on my hard drive and the way to do it is move all the pictures to another drive. What is the command to do this? Isn't drag and drop copying and not moving? I suppose I could copy then come back and delete. But moving would be better I think. Less chance for a mistake

My hard drive is partitioned with my C: having 679 GB and my D: having 698 GB. I'd like for files (word, mp3, jpg etc.) to be in D: and to keep program files in C:. So how do I move the 'Libraries' directory from C: to D:? Can it be remapped or do I need to copy/paste everything over and make a new Library in D?

I have a 1TB drive with win7 installed on it, as well as various other applications. I just bought a 120GB SSD and want to move my OS over to it, but leave all the other files on the HDD. Is there a way I can do this without having to reinstall all my applications?

I have an issue with my USB mices, they don't work. The mouse cursor won't move an inch. It's lit up and the Steelseries driver "Engine" makes it very clear that the mouse is recognized by the computer. I can play around with the lights and the settings but the cursor won't move. I have been googling for hours and tried many fixes without success.
I have tried: Tweaking the BIOS and the USB mouse support option, deleting different keys in regedit, deleting and reinstalling drivers. I got the problem after I changed the PSU. The mouse would work but it stuttered forward and the movement wasn't smooth at all until it completely stopped moving. I have since switched back to my old PSU to no avail. I'm suspecting that there is a power issue, maybe a setting changed when I switched PSU.

I have used many cloning software.
- Macrium Reflect
- EaseUS Disk Copy & Todo Backup
- RoboCopy
- Paragon Backup & Recovery
I'd like to move Windows from one drive to another without backing up THEN restoring. This is an extra step that I consider unnecessary.RoboCopy ALMOST did it correctly. But it corrupted the Outlook Registry. Microsoft recommended to uninstall and re-install Office.

I'm helping someone with there Windows 7 Professional.They can't update it or get certain features to work. I know it is because they are on an old Work Domain.They no longer work for that company. But the Laptop is there's.I went to System and "changed settings" under "Computer Name Domain and Workgroup settings".I changed from "Work Network" to "Home Network".After restarting, ALL of there configurations and settings were gone. Outlook, ACT!, etc needed to be setup again. But the computer was able to access the features that they needed.Apparently the user account that we were using to log in into, was no longer available.I did a system restore to right before I changed to Home Network.How do I change to "Home Network" from "Work Domain" while still keeping ALL user settings, but getting rid of the lockdown that the Domain Policies Enforced?

You cannot move appp around in windows as windows makes DLL files and registry entry and moving it will break it.Also Microsoft wants people to use shortcuts and moving apps will break the shortcuts of path of the files.
In OS X all files needed to to run the app are glued with the app and in windows you must run the installer to make the directory where it will copy all files to run the app ,make path ,make the shortcuts and DLL files and registry entry .
Moving files around break the DLL files and registry entry .Part of this is to stop illegal copying.In windows people use the installer to remove or install app we never move app around like in OS X .
Also most time apps have to run in system level in windows not like OS X It is not the scopes of Linux ,windows ,OS X security myths but the thread got little of topic of talking about moving appp around in windows and other OS.

The power supply went out on my Win 7 box(custom built) and so I decided to put it into my granddaughter's Dell box which was running Win XP. I unplugged the XP hdd, plugged in the Win 7 hdd, but it will not complete opening Windows.I've tried using a Win 7 Recovery CD, but none of the 3 I have will boot! So, I used the Win 7 DVD and can get to the install screen, where I've tried the 'repair' option. But, that gives a message that it is unable to repair the computer.

I am running Windows 8. I know this forum is for Windows 7, but the Windows 8 forum is under developed and doesn't really have any members yet.I am selling my laptop, so I'm installing Windows 7 since I have Windows 8 now. I was going to install it off a flash drive. Every time I go to try to transfer the Windows 7 Starter files onto the flash drive, I can't transfer 1 file. It says I need to permission to move it

I have a folder called PICS with a bunch of sub-folders
[code]...
If I copy the PICS folder over to the USB drive and keep the same directory structure, is there an easy way to update all of the shortcuts so the files can be accessed when the drive is plugged into another computer?

I have asked in another post about getting my daughters computer working for her whilst she is overseas. I have 2 legitimate windows discs 1 is xp and the other is win 7. I have a new laptop with win 7 on it so I don't really have to have it loaded on my experimental machine. Can I delete win 7 from my machine and put it on her laptop. Or the same with the xp disc. It has become redundant any way and is sitting in a cupboard gathering dust. 2 legit discs and product keys. Can I move them to other machines?

When Im on the net using Firefox, theres often times when things will stop moving (i.e. the blinking text cursor, tabs that are loading, things that are downloading, etc.), and they will continue to move if i move my mouse around, or the touch-pad... and, i believe, if i type, things will resume. This gets rather annoying, because the only remedy is to close Firefox, and then re-open it. It seems to happen most when i attempt to upload something - no matter where Im uploading it to (such as sendspace, multiupload, etc.).I dont think i have a virus - Im running AVG for security, and Super Anti-Spyware. I also have the latest Firefox, which according to the About tab is 5.0, and it says it's up-to-date.

Used to be a time when I kept my the WIndows and core apps n a C partition, and my large users files on a D partition. In that way
- the C was samll, easily imaged to a second drive, etc,
- all data file were on the D partition, easily backed up to another drive
These days, with super large drives, and Windows expecting files in C:Users, I found myself keeping everything on the same partition - make those images much bigger and longer to create (unless one uses image software that allow oyu to exlcude folders) Is thee a way to tell Windows to look elsewehre (ie on another partition) for the user files its typically expects to see under C:Users ??

Im planning to buy a PS3 move, but I was thinking if its worth it. Can you give me a feedback on what you think of the move and what games you love to play with it? I'm a fan of adventure games, so i want the move to be like a sword or whatever, where i can swing it and stuff. I also plan on playing FPS with it, not a fan of FPS, but I think the PS3 Move can make it better.

I've come across an issue where when I shut down and restart my PC on occasion all of my desktop icons will have moved.I am running a dual screen set up, screen 1 on the left, screen 2 on the right using screen 2 as the main display, running Win 7 Pro x64.
Windows gadgets are unaffected by this problem, only icons which are all moved onto the main display and largely jumbled up.
This doesn't happen every time I shut down. I am beginning to suspect it has something to do with the order of programs closing before windows shuts down, but I am not sure, and even less sure why programs which have no affect on the resolution would have any affect on the icon position.
Has anyone got any suggestions as to why Windows might be getting confused sometimes?
