Cloned Partition has a Problem with source partition Ok, I cloned my Drive (C) which is Windows 7 to Drive (D) because I want to dual boot Vista on this computer, and the Vista disk will only install on Drive (C)
When I cloned my Windows 7 to Drive (D), it acts like its still working with Drive (C)... Anytime I make a change, such as deleting a file from the downloads list, it will delete it on the Windows 7 on the other partition.
Example, I'm running the cloned version (D), and when I delete one file, the same file on Drive (C), which is the source of the clone, gets deleted as well.
BUT, If I'm running the Source Windows 7, (C), and I delete a file, it won't delete in on the Cloned version of Windows until I boot to it. | My System Specs |

I don't think it's a virtual drive, Drive D is a Primary Partition, Drive C is too. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number acer 5720z OS Xp, Vista, 7 CPU intel Pentium Dual Core Motherboard Acer Memory 2 gig Graphics Card Intel 965 chipset Sound Card integrated Monitor(s) Displays Laptop Display Screen Resolution 1280 x 800 Keyboard Laptop Mouse HP wireless Case Laptop Cooling fan Hard Drives Western Digital 250 Gig Internet Speed depends |
