    Thank you.

    I unplugged my HDDs and realized that my SSD is not working properly. I've started over. I will check back in later.
    You may have forgotten to transfer the system partition with the bootmgr.

    Do you have any idea if this process will work on an encrypted drive?

    Thanks

    Jon, I personally never tried that. So I am not certain. But logic would tell me that it should work because the transfer process does not deal with the semantics of the content.

    I'm back and I'm glad to report that my OCZ Vertex 4 SSD is now up and running. One interesting thing happened in the process: I ran the "format fs=ntfs quick" command but it did not work. Instead, I used the Windows disk management tool to format the SSD. After that, I restored the OS with the Macrium Reflect tool, unplugged my other drives and, lo' and behold, it worked! Nice thing about the Macrium Reflect, it actually created the 101MB and the C partitions onto the SSD without having to do multiple restores.

    The Microsoft Office problem that I was having dissapeared and everything is still there. I'm happy now.

    Thank you!

    I have an asus ux32VD zenbook , and have just purchased the Samsung SSD 830 series. I have made 4 Win7 iso images using the Asuss utility. I intened to put these on the SSD using a USB bootable stick,. Is this the best way ? Now the Asus comes with the Opsys partition and a data partition. Will the SSD get those partitions ?
    Also is there a tutorial for Ausu zenmbook users for doing this ?
    cheers

    hi, just want to ask does this tutorial still valid? I'm planning to buy the software that you suggest as I'm not good with the pc.

    It is still valid. There is no known problem with either the manual procedure nor the Paragon tool.

    Ok, I'm a total noob to this but after running the Paragon software I now have a copy of the OS on both my SSD and my HDD, will this cause problems or do I need to do something else?
