I am contemplating buying an SSD and copy of Ghost to migrate my 512gb Hdd laptop running XP to a 512gb SSD.
I have seen a few dialogs on this forum with regard to other Windows versions. It seems there can be multiple problems, including booting issues, sector sizes and so on.
Is this within Ghost capabilities?
Is there a step by step tutorial anywhere?
Do I need to make the SSD partitions reseble the Hdd partitions, as in total size, bloct/sector etc?
I have only a general undertsanding of how Hdd's storage is organized,
and no idea how SSD's organization may differ.
Otherwise, proficient computer user/programmer.
A 512 gb SSD is stretching my budget, I cannot afford to throw it away if it doesn't work.... :-)
Attached is the disk management screen, but it does not have an ssd attached.- scratch that, it wont accept any file format Paint makes. I don't have a way to upload this.
It shows disk 0 with 2 partitions 6 gb and 459 gb
I'm trying to verify it will work before purchasing.
I expect I will need to veryfy electrical compatibility too,
But to give advice we need to ask these questions about partition size, etc. There is no point giving someone advice and then seeing them do something that makes the whole project fail. We've seen that too often.
