Restore Image from "Two-Drive" Setup to Single SSD
I want my OS and programs on a new 256GB SSD. I've created an image of my current system - OS on C: drive and program files on D: (modified registry to install all programs to separate physical drive D: by default).
Is this fairly straight-forward, or will I need to do any tweaking or hoop-jumping to do this? Thanks.

Thanks, I was hoping I could restore it to a single drive, but at this point, I'm thinking that isn't possible. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Shuttle SH67H3

You could make 2 partitions on the SSD. One C and one D and that should work.
