Ibex,
First, do as Jonathan suggested and test the drive-use the web address he gave you.
I expect the drive to get a clean bill of health.
Cloning and other such things are a definite possibility.
BUT-since you are not an experienced chap in these areas, I strongly suggest avoiding cloning, despite the availability of some excellent software for this task, including use of the XCOPY command with an entire alphabet of options.
Here's my suggestion:
Leave, for the time being, your little drive connected.
Connect up, as a 2nd drive, your monster drive.
Use DISKMGMT.MSC to view the current structure of your monster (and your dwarf).
Using DISKMGMT, you can:
1. mark the partition as "active" on the that monster that you want to use for your future C: drive.
With power off,
- disconnect the dwarf drive,
- move any connectors, change any settings needed so that your bios uses your monster
- as the main drive
- Install Win7
