Got a SSD and I only want to move the operating system to the SSD. So, question one is
1. How do I move only the OS to the SSD?
I haven't done anything like this for a L O O O N G time. In fact, not since DOS. Back then there was a problem with what I'm trying to do now. That problem related to drive names. Let's say I added a new faster hard drive to my system (I'm talking about the old days now.) I made the HD bootable and copied Dos over, then named the new drive C: and changed the old drive to D: . Should be done, right? Nope! Had to change every stinking reference in every program to reflect that the data the program needed was now on D: instead of c: drive. So, question two is:
2. What do I need to do for my programs and data, which will now be the newly named d:\ drive, to run properly?
The physical drive is currently configured as: System Reserve 100MB NTFS Sys reserve (System, Active, Primary Partition)
930.97GB NTFS, C:\ (Boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition)
450MB NTFS (Recovery Partition)
