Transfering Windows to Another HDD

[NosBoost300]

is this possible... cuz i'm thinking of getting a raptor later on.. possibly holding it off til next paycheck, i guess i'm wondering, if i do get the 7200 rpm and put windows on it, could i transfer it to windows when i get the raptor?

You could probably ghost it and put it on that way.

sure...if you just copy the entire HD over then yeah.

BTW this is in the wrong forum

okay then, i'll reprase the question to make it fit this section...

would moving my OS from a 7200 rpm hard drive to a 10,000 rpm hard drive make a big difference in loading times.. and if so, how would i do it.. how do i go about ghosting... because i plan on completely taking out this HDD and putting it into another one.. so would the other HDD (The Raptor) Still be able to load up windows?


haha.. i was just kidding up there ^^^^^ move it if you reall must, please and thankyou

personally, I would just do a fresh install. it will run even faster.
then just copy some of your files over from the other hard drive

the only thing about that is... i don't know if i can re use the same windows xp for a 4th time... its been registered for 2..and just activated on 1.. hopefully i can just activate it on a 4th...

use acronis true image, you can clone a hard drive very easily using the trial version.
In fact I have used acronis to move my OS from a faulty SCSI drive to a replacement and then again to a Raptor.
