New Hard Drive for a Netbook - System Image/Bootable USB disk
Ok so i have bought a new hard drive for my netbook, which currently has windows 7 32 bit installed
I need to backup all my installed programs/system and re-install on the new hard drive.
Whats the easiest way to go about doing this without using 3rd party software.
Files/Librarys are of no concern
Everywhere i have looked i am told:
- Need to create a system image to recover from (check)
- need to make a bootable USB Drive (cant do because i dont have a windows 7 CD or a CD drive) to install windows 7 from
I have a recovery partition on my current HDD but i dont know how to go about doing this
p.s. I have an external hard drive i can use, aswell as an 8gb USB stick
