New HDD, Cloning, Partitioning, Suggestions, etc.
I have a desktop replacement notebook.
I have 2 HDDs, 500 GB each. I just got the second one (both HDDs are internal) and haven't formatted it as MBR or GUID.
I have 2 operating systems one my computer and I want 2 operating systems.
My first HDD has 4 partitions of :
C: Home Premium
D: Ultimate (main OS)
E: Movies
F: Files
Q1: Should I leave 2 OS in HDD1 or should I put 1 OS in each HDD?
Q2: If I want to clone D to a new partition in HDD2, which cloning method should I use? (Windows, external Software, ???)
Q3: In the new HDD, should I put partitions like the first HDD (4 equal ones) or should I put a larger partition for the OS in HDD2?
Q4: When I clone D to a new partition in HDD2, what kind of booting problems I can have? How can I solve them?
Q5: After I clone D to a new partition in HDD2, and boot from it, how can I uninstall the OS in D? (just format the partition or another way?)?
Q6: Is 115GB enough for a main OS partition? (In my OS partition, I don't have anything but the program files. All my files, videos, movies, downloads, images, etc. are in another partition-s-)
Q7: What are the important things should I keep in mind when I am cloning an OS partition to a new disk?
Any suggestions welcome!
Thank you!
