I've read through the numerous articles you've linked (thanks man); unless I'm missing something however, it seems the simple plan I have in mind will (in my case) offer the path of least resistance. In the future, I can always fiddle with all of the procedures outlined in the articles linked. I just don't have the time or patience at this very moment to print out and follow all of those involved steps when I believe my plan will produce the desired result.
My objective for the short term is to simply increase the size of my SSD without interrupting my workflow too terribly. I believe the following plan should do what I need:
(1) Power down and remove my "D" drive (just a 2TB instenal storage drive).
(2) I snap in the new SSD.
(3) I reboot using the existing XP drive to Win 7 and migrate the smaller SSD to the new SSD internally via SATA.
(4) Power down and swap the old SSD with the newly migrated larger one.
(5) I reboot using the XP drive as always and test the new SSD.
(6) If successful, I'll keep the dual boot config as it is (for now) and use the larger SSD as my former "C" drive. I'll keep the smaller SSD as an emergency back-up drive.
Anything wrong with my plan? I sure hope not!!
Thanks,
