Come back when you have the SSD. Then the acid test will start.
LMAO i sure will WHS... and thanks for all your help
Hello again, well i bit the bullet and purchased a
Samsung 840 Series 120GB 2.5 inch SATA Solid State Drive: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
and i have been doing some research, and this may be easier than i thought. LOL
I found this link on " DATA" migration
Samsung SSD - A Guide to using the Samsung Data Migration Tool - YouTube
The only question i have is ,
Since i currently only have 44Gigs of DATA, on my 312 GIG, C:\ partition , i should not have any trouble migrating the "DATA: from my HD to my new SSD ? .
Thanks in Advance.
44GBs of data will easily migrate to a 128GB SSD - no problems. If this is a Dell system though, it will also migrate the recovery partition because that's where the bootmgr is - if not, you get only the small 100MB system partition. That we can fix later.
Hello again, this is not a dell. its a custom build. so i guess i don't have to shrink the 312 C:\ partition ?
Just install the SSD and run the Samsung migration software reboot, let the migration finish, reboot and change the SSD to the 2nd Boot device after the CD/DVD drive, and its done.?
Thanks in advance.
You got it. No need to shrink. If the data fits, the tool will migrate the C partition and do proper alignments. Check the alignment anyhow once you run from the SSD - just to make sure. SSD Alignment
