Can I ask a related question? I have a Win 7 machine with a IDE hard drive containing Windows but which is starting to show signs of age (occasional crashes and failure to start) so I'd like to clone it to a spare SATA drive I have which is also a lot bigger (115gb vs 40gb) and use that as the boot disc in future.
Plan to use Seagate Disk Wizard (to the earlier comment, ALT TO before clicking OK will allow it to be used on non-Seagate drives. Stands for Technical Override)
However, I'm a little concerned about one of the earlier comments that implies I would have to get the installation re-validated by Microsoft and there is maybe a trick question I need to give the correct answer to?
Advice from the experts out there would be very welcome!
