Sorry. Copy Drive is what you were doing from Windows. The OEM was successful but the Recovery failed.

I'm sorry but I didn't understand your lastpost. OEM was a success (we cloned it yesterday). I thought recovery was also a success (i made an image and recovered it onto my SSD with no failures) [read message 53]. The only one we have left is Win7 partition. However, I still don't understand what Copy Drive is? How would one "Copy drive?"

[Brian_K]

Copy Drive was the Ghost process you did from Windows. You remember Copy Drive for the Recovery partition failed a few times and you then created an image.

The procedure you did for the OEM partition was Copy Drive. It is done in Windows.

Ahhh, I got you. "Copy Drive" is what I was calling "cloning." Ok so I will get into windows and try to copy/clone using Ghost my Win7 partition. With the original options you gave me a while back. Let us see what happens...

[Brian_K]

Correct. It is partition cloning but Ghost refuses to use the terms cloning or imaging.

By the way, just looked at disk manager and for my ssd it says:

Recovery [Active, Primary Partition]

whereas for my original HDD it says:

Recovery [System, Active, Primary Partition]

What i'm trying to say is that the SSD recovery partition does not say "System"

[Brian_K]

You probably need it to be the only drive in the computer for it to say System. Currently your HD is System.

I'm expecting Ghost to say the Win7 partition is too large to copy. I'll then talk you through shrinking the partition and running Copy Drive again.

You can expand Win7 on the HD back to its original size after the SSD is working.

Why would I expand my original Win7 partition after copying it? I thought I would just format or erase everything on my original HDDs..
