I bought a new laptop recently after dropping my M1330 from 1.5M height and the screen not working anymore (not suprisngly) and want to change the drive in this to the SSD I had in the M1330.
So, the laptop came with a few partitions (OS, Data, Recovery). I wanted a fresh install of W7 instead of having all the Asus stuff on there , that went fine - no problems. Then whilst in the new W7 install I wanted to delete the old W7 partition as this wasn't needed anymore - but wouldn't let me as apparently its an Active/System Partition - is there any way I can get rid of this?
I deleted the Data partition as well as I had no use for that. This is what the disk setup looks like at the moment :
The OS is installed on C:, D: is the old W7 installation which I don't require anymore.
I want to move the W7 installation on C:, onto E: (the SSD) . I have a fully lincesed copy of TrueImage but this wants to clone the whole disk and imitate the same partitions as on Disk0 - I only want to move the C: onto E:
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance
