Moving Factory Image Partition, shrinking boot disk size
Hello,
I have a HP HPE-210f with a factory 1TB HDD.
I just installed an Intel 320 series 80GB HDD to move my OS over to.
My first attempt to copy disk0 to disk1 failed because there was not enough space on the target disk. This is a new PC with harldy any downloads on it.
I moved 6GB off to my USB HDD and then retried and it worked. I was totally shocked that 80GB was right on the edge of capacity to move the OS over to.
It looks like I could free up some space on my boot disk if I were able to move the Factory Image partition over to the old 1TB drive (it's actually still there since I copied it over to the SSD).
Can I delete the FACTORY_IMAGE partition form my SSD and have Windows 7 Home Premium point to the FACTORY_IMAGE partition on the 1TB non-boot drive?
Any other tips to skinny down the SSD drive?
Thanks
