Yes
Please boot again but now from old drive for testing. Sure everything is fine?
Sure only thing you did was cloning?
Yes I will do that and check. Have not done anything else. Also do not remember it taking ages to Index when I installed Outlook 2010 last year.
So if OK booting from original HDD, try cloning again, perhaps Macrium Reflect?
Shall I leave all drives connected?
Thank you for help.
If you did clone and nothing else.... it must be fine.
Clone macrium, paragon, easus.... they are all the same. I clone is.... just a clone. After cloning they adjust the boot menu so it points to correct new drive. Also they adjust the drive lettering to the new drive (in one registry key). And they don't copy useless files like pagefile and hibernation file.
But to keep it simple.... the programs work the same.
Did you clone from within windows7 or booted from recovery DVD with cloning software?
After cloning do System Protection - Turn On or Off
Disable "system protection" on phantom drives. Maybe disable on D as well (?)
Enable "system protection" on new C!!
Sorry, what are phantom drives? OK I'll do this a little later ( wife calls for me to do gardening!!) Can I report back a little later? Thanks for the assistance.
System Protection is on for only the C (SSD) drive.
