I need to replace existing 120 GB Hard Drive with a 320 GB Drive in Dell Laptop using Ghost 14. All I need off of the existing drive is the OS partition. I don't need the Recovery partition. On the new drive I need 2 partitions, 1 for the OS and 1 for data.
What is the best way for me to get my OS partition on to the new drive using Ghost 14 to ensure it will boot after installing it in the laptop. Any help appreciated. I would be happy to call someone for more detailed information.
I have external USB drives and also an EZ-Connect that can be used, if needed, to temporarily connect the new SATA drive to the laptop via USB.
Dell M-90 Laptop w/Vista Ultimate SP2 32bit
Current Drive Config (original w/PC) 120GB SATA (2 partitions):
OS (C:) 91 GB NTFS
Recovery (D:) 2 GB NTFS
63MB Healthy (EISA Configuration)
New Drive Type and Current Config:
WD Scorpio Black 320GB SATA
117 GB (Unallocated) - This will be for the OS.
180 GB RAW Healthy (Primary Partition) Not Formatted Not assigned a drive letter - This will be for data.
Ghost 14 Backup Info of current drive:
Created an Independent Recovery Point Drive Backup of OS (C:\)using Standard Compression.
Backup is stored on an external USB hard drive.
Thanks,
