Moving C: disk image from one type of drive to another
I currently have my C: partition for my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit OS on a SATA drive and will soon be installing a SAS drive to use for that partition instead. I do daily complete image backups of the system partition with Acronis True Image and I am hoping that I can simply reload the saved disk image onto the new disk without any problems. I have done it many times with SATA-to-SATA reinstalls but I am concerned there may be problems because of the hardware IDs (or something similar?) moving to a different kind of disk hardware device.
Can anyone tell me if this should work? I don't really like the prospect of having to do a complete re-install of the OS
Thanks,
