Change system drive letter
I have Win 7 running from C: drive and another Win 7 from D: drive (pro versions with different languages).
I have to change the boot drive in the BIOS of the motherboard, each time I want to switch the OS (rarely).
I bought an SSD recently, switched to the D: boot, connected it over USB and used the supplied Samsung disk mirroring utility to move the system to the 840 PRO automatically (it's obviously used D: as the current system drive).
Then, I have removed all of the old drives (C: and D: ) and installed the SSD in place of C: drive.
The system booted fine, except for the "temporary user profile" warning. The SSD have the C: letter.
Using regedit, I have fixed the "temporary user" issue (renaming the .bak profile entry and correcting the user path inside).
Then, using the regedt33 app, I have replaced all of the "D:/"s to "C:/"s in the registry and rebooted.
The system seem to work fine on the surface (surely, except for some shortcuts).
-----
My question is: what else should I check, to make sure the system is in perfect shape now? One of the ideas - search for any "D:/"s in the files on the disk (configs). Does anybody know of any Windows 7 config files, I have to take care for explicitly? Another idea is to run some system integrity checking app - could you recommend any?
Just please, don't use the "clean install" words in your answer, I'm fed up with that Google search result already.
