Relocate System Files on a Dual Boot
I've replaced Win7-32 with 64 a few days ago after formatting the drive. I have four partitions on three discs. The largest dusk has two – a very small one with XP and a very large where I save all my stuff.
The problem appeared when I tried to use Windows Backup to save an image file of Win7. It only allows me to save the backup on the smallest partitions without enough free space, not with Win7 or on the largest one where I have over 600GB free. I checked and found the reason is probably because this partition contains the system files for both XP and 7, So the Backup forbids saving the image file on it as well as on the one with Win7.
I think I need to relocate the Win7 system files from the large partition to the partition containing Win7. I downloaded and installed EasyBCD, as sometime ago recommended to me in this forum to use instead of VistaBoot Pro (now DualBoot PRO), but I never used it. Could someone tell me how to proceed before I spoil the installation, please?
