I got a new SSD and I was able to migrate my OS to my new SSD. I was able to boot up from the SSD and everything (I pulled out my HDD and it booted off my SSD). Now, the problem is that I have a copy of Windows 7 on my old HDD and I can't get it off because of permissions issues (i'm running as admin).
hi and welcome to seven forums :)
does the disc show up in my computer and have you tried to re-format?
Woah, that was a fast reply! And thanks brianzion. The SSD and the HDD both show up on my computer. One of my other problems was that for some reason after the migration, my C: drive switched with my f: drive. Originally my C: drive was the HDD and my f: drive was the SSD, now it's switched. So, I don't know how i'm going to transfer my games and stuff. To answer your question, I'm afraid to re-format my f: drive because that's where my games were originally installed. (right now their files are all in an external hard drive)
Well installed programs have a lot of registry entries with the installed location linked to it. to just copy pasting doesn't work for games and other apps.
I would say, just uninstall them from the current drive and install them to a new one. Just take a backup of the saved games (for games) and copy them to the location of the new installer.
That is the only way i know of
Do you think I could change the drive letters back to the way they were? I already changed the boot order to having my SSD first. Like, If i were to change my ssd back to f and my hdd back to c, would that mess anything up? Cause if i was able to do that, then i could just move my games back to the c folder and everything should read correctly. Basically, will changing the drive letters back mess with the boot up or anything? Does the computer have to boot from drive "c"?
