Copying Vista to a new partition:
Ok, I know this isn't technically a Win7 question but I'd imagine the procedure would be quite similar. I have 4 drives in my machine (hot swappable, so I usually have the one boot drive and the storage drive in at any one time):
1. Windows 7 x64 500GB
2. Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 500GB
3. Windows Vista x86 160GB
4. Samsung 2TB storage.
Basically the 3rd drive with Vista on is very long in the tooth and slow, whereas the one with 2008 R2 on is quite speedy and has loads of space to accommodate them both. I've shrunk the partition and now need to copy the contents of Vista over to the new partition. How exactly do I go about this to ensure it works correctly?
All the drives have their own bootloaders, so I'd imagine I use something to EasyBCD to add an entry so I can boot into Vista.
Server 2008 isn't critical or anything. I'm a student and using the MS Dreamspark license to test things out on it and the like.
