Is it possible to move my OS from one drive to another (like copy and paste)? When I started to use Win7 Beta, I just made a partition on one of my storage drives and chucked it in there, when I got the proper version I didn't really think about hat and just placed it at the same place. But now I need to rearrange my HDD's and since I have 2 160GB HDD's in raid 0, I am wondering if I can just wipe away my XP installation I have on them and move my Win7 there, or do I have to do a new installation?
If I have to do a re-installation of Win7, could I do a backup of my present set up, and then use that one my new installation of Win7, which would make it a bit easier for me and I wouldn't have to re-install all my programs again!
If I could do a backup, would Win7 Backup and Restore program work, or would you recommend I use something else?
Another similar question, I have my games on a partition of a 500GB HDD, but I want to remove this HDD from my PC, could I copy all my games to a new location and still be able to use them as before, or would I have to uninstall them all and then reinstall them on another location?
As always, any and all advice and suggestions greatly appreciated, thank you!
