new drive transfer

[lanzarobbie]

Hi

I've just brought another sammy f3 to replace my storage drive, what's the best way to transfer the 400g over to this.

Once this is done the old drive will replace the windows drive in my second pc, what's the best way to transfer that over instead of re-installing windows.


Thanks

A simple drag and drop from the storage drive to the new F3 will be fine, there shouldn't be anything hidden or inaccessible on the source drive.

For the other machine an imaging program like Acronis True Image is the way to go. You can't just drag and drop all the files from a Windows drive, there are a whole load of hidden and locked files which cannot be copied in explorer.
