Swapping a hard drive
Hi
This is where I'm at.
I am writing this on a new build PC with Win 7 RC installed.
The problem benig I installed a small spare HD, I have got so involved in learning Win 7 and liking what I'm seeing that I got it set up great but the HD is not the one I want to use.
My other internal HD of an other PC is much larger and the one I wish to use.
I don't know how/the procedure in transferring my settings files, folders from the small to the larger HD.
I have every single folder, file, emails and so on backed up on an external HD, so once larger internal HD is up and running I could restore/transfer my files/folders/e-mails/favorites that way but what about settings.
The larger HD as yet does not have Win 7 RC installed and this will have to be done first.
I do not wish to partion the larger HD yet.
There are possible several effective ways to transfer everything, settings and so on from the small to the large but need the procedure explained, simple works best with me.
Or would it simply be best to install Win 7 on big HD and then transfer/restore, files,folders and so from the external back up HD.
