Hi,

I just got myself a raptor and I want to move my OS on my other HD to the raptor. I tried doing this using Acronis True Image. I took an image of the windows OS partition and then wrote that image onto the raptor. To test it out I unplugged my other hd, and found that the raptor would not get past the small MS logo screen with the blue background (just before "welcome" displays and the desktop is shown). It would only load if my other hd was plugged in. Looks like it's still wanting to use files from that HD..

How do I make the transfer?

Thanks
 
I tried partition magic and couldn't figure out how to move it.. so I just used acronis true image to clone the whole disk over (set it running and went to sleep) - was done when I woke up, and just shifted the other two partitions back to disk 2. Worked out!

Thanks for the replies - I'll check those solutions out next time I need to do something like this, they're probably faster.
