How can I switch the names of my original C: drive ad its cloned copy?
I apologize in advance for any misuse of technical terms; I don't have too much experience with the innards of hardware and operating systems.
So I recently bought a new, 1TB hard drive and using Clonezilla, cloned the contents of my original, smaller (160 GB) C: drive. This didn't go without hiccups (Clonezilla could be only booted in safe mode, and had to use the win7 recovery tool to boot the new drive), but now it seems to work: the files on the two drives are the same, and when I choose to boot the "recovered" OS, the command prompt displays "G:\Windows\system32> instead of C:\Windows\system32>, so I presume it's entire mechanism works from the new partition.
Here's a screenshot of Disk Management, taken while I was booted from the C: drive:
(The lines under Állapot (=Status) are the following:
C: | Healthy (Boot, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)
G: | Healthy (Page File, Primary Partition)
System Reserved | Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition)
System Reserved (F: ) | Healthy (System, Primary Partition)
)
Now, what I want to do is to rename the current G: partition (1TB) into C:, and the current C: partition (160 GB) into something else. Also, if possible, disable the booting from the smaller drive in order to skip the dual boot screen when starting the computer, but that would be just icing on the cake.
The problem is, most threads I read said that renaming the C: drive isn't possible without reinstalling Windows, and the one person who did have the same problem received a solution so vague, I dare not to use it for the fear of inadvertently wrecking my computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
