Copying OS to another drive? nOOb style question :)
I'm being a little lazy and I know the answer already, but I'm asking anyway in the vain hope.....
One of my HDD's is failing quickly and I 'suspect' that it's the current drive that the beta is installed on (although I'm still not certain) and rather than go through all the nuisance of partitioning / installing on another drive, is there a way to copy the current install (6801) holus bolus to another drive and repair / modify the boot records / registry to make it function?
Alternatively, could I make a bootable image and use that to re-install on a new drive? I've never created an 'image' so that's new territory for me.
As I said, I doubt it's possible but as I've already spent days 'setting up' 6801, I really don't feel like doing it all again so soon, but the way my rigs been acting up, I may not have a choice.
(I've already installed a total of 5 fresh installations in the last couple of days and it's getting time consuming and tiresome)
