Replacing secondary HDD

[iCobble]

Yes, but you have to take into consideration it might try and format your drive before applying the image. That's why I put multiple options knowing more about the current situation. If it doesn't do that, then yea you can apply the image off that drive.

Ok, system image is now done. Took quite a while in the end.
Just to confirm, I can just copy and paste the content of the old HDD to the new one now and all the programs should still work?

Edit: Started to copy and paste, but every so often I needed to click to confirm that I wanted to move the file. This would've have taken hours with me having to watch the screen, so I've just started recovering the image to the new drive instead. Will update later.

And that's why we say to do it on a separate machine lol.

Yeah unfortunately I don't have another computer.
But it's all done now, everything seems to be working. I've got the new drive partitioned into 3, one being all my old HDD content, one with the backup image and the other empty.
Would you recommend keeping backups of all my drives?
Thanks a lot to everyone who's helped, especially PP Mguire, I probably would have destroyed my computer without you guys. Thanks!

Once it's finished and working fine you can just delete that image.
