Image windows 7 on SSD

I just bought an SSD (128 GB) and want to install it on my machine Windows 7 Home 64 bit as a source for Windows 7 and my programs.  Windows 7 is currently on my 1.5 to C: drive.  I want to transfer files from Windows 7, the program and the user to the SSD hard drive.  I temporarily moved all the data files from my hard drive to an external drive.  After the transfer when I select all the remaining files on the C drive, including the windows 7 program folder and files of the user and display the properties of these files, it amounts to about 70 GB.  However, when I view my C drive properties, it is reported 270 GB of used space.  I don't know where the other 200 GB come and I can't get the image of the hard drive at this level.  Please suggest how I can check what is on my C drive and how can I reduce it less than 128 GB.  Thank you for your help.

Image of Windows 7 and move them to the new hard drive (one of the many ways)

Windows 7 has a built-in Imaging program, but I wouldn't recommend it when moving to another hard disk. Connect the new hard drive to the computer (as a slave if IDE, or connect it to the outside if you can via USB), then partition the new drive, so it has two partitions (or use a second partition on the old disk hard if the new drive is not very big) - the last partition being a little larger then the amount of data on your current hard drive. If you have a large amount of data (music/video, etc.) moving to an external storage separately will considerably reduce the size of the image. Also make sure your partition that you move that Windows 7 is the same size or larger, then the current partition.

Make now a picture of your current hard drive with either programs below and save it to the last partition on your new drive. If you have the recovery of 100MB partition do not forget to include that. After you have created the image restore the image on the disk hard nine - you must restore windows on the first partition (or second if you have the recovery of 100 MB partition). But if you have a unique configuration then it implemented the same thing your player running. You may need to remove/change the partitions that you have done for the new hard drive when restoring the Windows image. Please be aware that in the computer imagery of the world does not always work, but your original data should not be adversely affected. You may need to reactivate after moving to the new hard disk.

If you can not have two drives connected at the same time you can chose save image on DVD. Then replace the old drive and DVD to restore windows to the new hard drive.

The two programs are completely free (and there are others available). Both allow you to make a boot disk to start the recovery, and the two programs allow you to divide the multiple DVD backup:

Reflect disk imaging:

Now only have the new disk from the computer and turn it on and see if Windows starts up, if it is not:

  • Try to use the System Image to migrate from Windows 7 for SSD for boot upward

    Hello

    I have a new computer Windows 7 operting.   I'm trying to migrate my OS to SSD for faster boots, etc..

    I first tried various 3rd party applications such as EaseUS Partition Master and Reflect, all futile for unknown reasons.

    Now I'm having problems using the built-in tool "Create a System Image" Windows 7.

    The Image of the system seems to be created properly and is listed in the appropriate folder.   The next step is to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to save the ISO file, then use this ISO on the DSS file.

    Unfortunately, despite all that I've read to the contrary, the file created by windows wasn't an ISO... it saved as a VHD file.   The download tool cannot copy VHD - only ISOs.

    Microsoft technical support suggested that I have post the question.   All the patches?

    Thanks in advance!

    What happens when you boot the system repair disc?  If necessary, you will need to enter your BIOS Setup utility and make your optical drive the first boot device.

    You have created the system image includes everything: the files of your operating system, your application to the program folder and your data.  Assuming that you have already used your system for awhile and so Windows, your installed programs and files total user more than 128 GB, the image does not fit on the SSD.

    If everything except your totals of less than 128 GB user files, then a possible scenario would be to backup all your files from user to some external medium data, confirm that the backup is valid, and then delete the files from the current hard drive.  Then make an image of system of what's left (which is now less than 128 GB) and restore that image on the SSD.  You create a new user profile and then copy your files from backup data on disk 1 to and link to your user profile in the user data (see tip below).

    Another alternative, especially if you have more than 128 GB used even without your data, is to do a clean Windows 7 on SSD install, reinstall all your application files, specifying as much as possible of the facilities is located on the 1 TB drive and your profile link to the data of the user on the 1 TB drive.

    This trick of sevenforums.com can help with the problem of having windows on the SSD and your data on the disk rotation:

    If you are simply wanting to save files HARD disk space in your user folders, you might consider this below in order to access the files in your library with the actually located files where you want to place. This way you won't have to worry about the potential problems that come with mobile user folder locations.

    To do a clean install of Windows 7 on your SSD, follow the instructions here to get a file ISO of Windows 7 to the same version of Windows 7 that is preinstalled on your computer: https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-and-office-iso-download-tool burn the image on a DVD (Note: you can not just copy the files, use the built-in tool to burn dvd of Windows 7 or free third-party tool like ImgBurn).  Use the product key from the label on your computer (not the key retrieved by using a key finder program) to activate Windows.  See https://techingiteasy.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/how-to-activate-windows-7-oem-license-using-a-retail-disc/

  • Image of Windows 7 on ssd smaller system restore

    Hi all.  I just wanted to share this guide on how to install windows 7 on an external drive to backup and restore the system image onto a smaller SSD using nothing but free tools and 1 non-Microsoft tool.

    Necessary.

    CD Recorvery Windows 7 system.
    GParted Live CD - available on sourceforge
    First backup the existing drive, using Windows Image backup system.  It's pretty basic, and here are the instructions:
    Now that you have the shrink backup the Windows installation partition (partition system reserved + free space must enter target SSD).
    Shrink the Partition of Windows 7 to fit the target SSD:
    Do right click my computer > select Manage > click Disk Management > click with the right button on the windows installation partition (usually c :)) > select "Shrink" > select the maximum allowed by Windows.)  When you're done check to see if this partition with the system reserved partition fits under the size of the target SSD.  In my case I tried to use the Windows disk management, but it would not diminish beyond 100 GB even if there was enough free space, and that was bigger than the 64 GB ssd drive that I wanted to restore.
    Shrink Windows 7 Partition with GParted Live CD if above fails:
    Restart the computer with the Live CD.
    Simply press 'Enter' on all the guests to select the default Options or, if necessary, change options to work with your hardware.  The Live CD will start with GParted already running.  Right click on the partition of Windows Setup.  Select "Resize/move" > click on the right edge of the partition and move it to the left to reduce it until it fits the target SSD. Once you have set the desired size, click "resize/move". Click on the apply"" button. Click on the button "apply" once more to the warning screen pop.  Wait while the partition was resized.  In my case, it was about 12 minutes.  You should see '0 operations pending' on the bottom of the Gparted application window.  Once he finished, double-click on the "Exit" icon on the desktop.  Select "Reboot".  Remove the Live CD, and press "enter."
    When restarting you will probably see a Windows 7 disk management screen.  Let him complete the audit.
    Once restarted in the Windows 7 computer desktop with the desired partition size run another Image of the backup system this time with the desired partition size.  Place the Windows 7 System Image Restore CD and stop.  Unplug the power cord at the back of the computer.
    Install the SSD.  Reboot with the Windows System Image Restore CD.
    Then follow these steps.
    Unfortunately, you will probably get a message stating that the image of the system cannot find a suitable disc.  In this case you will be lifted to some more recovery options which is the command prompt.  Launch the command prompt.  In the command line type in
    Diskpart.
    At the diskpart prompt, type
    Select disk = 0
    type
    retail disk
    to ensure that it is the SSD you selected.

    Now type
    clean
    then
    output
    I had to reboot the computer, because I couldn't always restore the system image without rebooting.

    Now repeat the procedure of restore system image.  In case you forgot:
    At this point, the image windows 7 system restore worked!
    After the reboot of Windows 7 on SSD turn trim if supported.
    Click on the Start button and type
    cmd
    Right-click the CMD and run as administrator
    Check if the Trim is turned
    fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify (credit http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=86403)
    type

  • Impossible to reinstall Windows 10 on SSD

    Hi everyone, I need some help with my new laptop Alienware 15 R2. For reasons that I do not talk, I needed to do a clean install of the operating system. The way my pc was setup with the OS on the SSD and the SATA drive being simply a reader of data for my user files (Documents, music, etc.).

    Before I did the Windows Recovery Image on a USB key (got the file/link from the page drivers Dell for my pc). Then I booted from the USB and crossed the guests of Reset my PC, choose the setting that has removed all personal files, applications, and settings. The computer ran through the process, but somewhere along the line, something went wrong (not sure since I left during the night) and it says that windows could not complete reset error. So, I tried go through the same steps again and this time it worked. However, after the installation, I realized that the operating system had been installed on the disk SATA and SSD was not yet visible by the Explorer of Windows files, Device Manager, etc.. I had to manually install the Intel Rapid Storage driver until Windows recognize the SSD drive.

    After searching the interwebs I couldn't know how easily "switch" for the SSD SATA BONE. So I plugged the USB from Windows Recovery Image key in and tried to put it back again, hoping that things would be settling or I would give the possibility to select the HARD drive to install the operating system on. well, nor of those who went. The operating system installed again on the SATA drive.

    My latest idea was to unplug the SATA drive, and then try the Windows Recovery Image. Unfortunately, I got errors with resetting my PC options. If I choose the option to keep my personal files the error mentioned something about having a locked partition/drive. If I set the option delete all files the error says something about a missing required partition/disk.

    For those who were able to read this diatribe together, all the ideas/help? I want to get my laptop Alienware to update a State with the OS on the SSD and SATA as additional data drive. If anyone could help please I would appreciate it a lot.

    Likely USB automatically selects the largest drive... You may need to wipe the HARD drive and then remove the drive HARD and then restore without the HARD drive using the USB. Then add the HARD drive and putting into service it...

    I would however recommend manual clean install:

  • Problems to Windows 7 new SSD

    I bought a HPE-170F with a 1 TB HARD drive and decided to add an Intel X - 25 M SSD 80 GB as drive operating system.  I didn't know that I would run into problems of displacement of the Windows 7 OS to the new drive.  I tried both possibilities.

    First of all, I created with the disconnected original 1 TB drive and HP recovery discs, I tried to recover the OS to the new drive.  The 80 GB drive was already formatted and recognized in the BIOS.  Recovery failed when I received the error message that the new drive is smaller than the original drive.  Of course the 80 GB is large enough to contain the operating system and much more, but the recovery system know it is less than the original drive.

    My another attempt was to create a system image since the 1 TB drive through Windows 7 and using the Windows repair disk C to try to restore that image on new 80 GB drive.  First of all, I reduced the original score from C to about 37 GB for it go below 80 GB disk size.  I managed to create the image system 5 DVD even if I created the ERD at that time here as I did previously.  With the 1 TB drive unplugged, I started with the Windows repair disk that went well until the moment he seems to start restoring image system and failed.  This time the error is "Not in the catalog (0 X 80780003) backup set".

    My next thought is to try a third party software to prepare the original image of the disk system and use this software to clone to the new drive.  I wonder about a number of things.  One, the alignment will be correctly the 80 GB SSD using this method?  And secondly, will install a cloning of lead drive to other operation OS future headaches because he wasn't a clean place.

    Any suggestions or experiences, that I can draw?  Thanks in advance.

    Buy a third-party software like or similar to Paragon Hard Drive Management Suite of Imaging. Burn the disc to boot WinPE supplied with the product.   Download all partitions in combined on your main drive size to not be greater than your new SSD.  If you got your OS up to 37 GB then you should be in good shape.

    Start the WinPE CD image, and an image of the hard drive (all partitions) to an external USB HD, CD/DVD media or hard disk 2 If you have two.  Turn off your PC and swap in the new SSD. Boot the WinPE image boot disk and then restore your image to your new SSD.

    Once you get your SSD to start then go to management-> disk management computer, fully extend the screen and see how you can use to add may to your partition C of unallocated space.

    I'd rather not use freebe products as they do not have the WinPE boot disk.

  • LY580 - installation of windows 8 on SSD

    I would like to install windows 8 on my SSD instead of upgrading my copy of windows at the standard C disk. However, during the installation of windows 8, I says that it cannot install on this disk because it has a MBR partition table and EFI systems require GPT disks. When I try to change that in disk management, I note that the SSD is not configured as a full disc, but is rather a volume of disk 0 with the HARD drive. How would I change this so that I can install windows 8 on this drive?

    Thanks for any help

    I had the same problem. Guess that's the problem with the config RapidDrive. PC with RapidDrive are not upgrading to Windows 8.

    I suggest:

    Quick tool allows to separate your HARD and SSD drive

    Pure install Windows 8 on SSD

    Go to the link below and read the last post on the page by BinaryInk

    These instructions will help you activate Windows 8, even if you only have an upgrade key. (That worked for me)

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-windows_install/Windows-8-Pro-upgrade-Pro...

    and use the SSD and HDD separately for now.

    Finally wait for Lenovo release RapiDrive for windows 8 as promised.

  • K320: how to install windows on a SSD?

    To speed up my system, I bought a 64 GB SSD. The idea was to install windows 7 64 on this disc and the same boot from that. HARD original (1 TB) disk is intended to use for data application only.

    I added the SSD successfully to my system, but it seems impossible to install windows and make it bootable? I can't use recovery tools because my original system is also longer than 64 GB.

    My preferred plan is to unplug the HARD drive and start with the SSD from scratch (so if there are problems during the installation, I can easily switch back to my old system).

    Any ideas how to proceed?

    Thank you

    Older versions of Windows offer a product key to activate Windows (as it is written on a sticker COST or built-in BIOS/UEFI).

    Windows 10 offers another option, called right digital.

    Probably, you had older versions of Windows and free upgrade to win 10. In order to keep your old version keys active Windows, Microsoft enabled Windows 10 using the new method. Win 10 has been activated using Windows 7 or 8 button, then this key would have been valid for the 2 versions of Windows (which is impossible).

    More information about this new option:

    > http://www.winbeta.org/news/digital-entitlement-a-new-method-of-activation-in-windows-10

    Maybe you can get temporary, the computer HARD disk and reinstall Windows on the SSD drive. Then you can insert the HDD tray in and when everything is ready, you can format the HARD drive and use it as an extra.

    If your computer came with Windows 8.1 or 7 preinstalled and later upgraded to Windows 10, you can use the recovery media to install the previous edition of Windows, and then upgrade to Windows 10

    Alternatively, you can try to clone your disk SSD using a software like Clonezilla:

  • How can I enable AHCI in dv7 6199us? And install windows on a SSD?

    Hello!

    I got help.

    How can I enable AHCI in dv7 6199us? And install windows on a SSD?

    Intel based computers, like yours, are usually set to "RAID", which is a superset of "AHCI". Basically, if the BIOS won't let you choose between "IDE mode", "AHCI" and "RAID", leaving in the RAID led to you everything done "AHCI". In this case there is no need to activate the AHCI, as RAID will support an SSD anyway.

  • 1515eo: move Windows OEM to SSD

    Hello

    I make one of these SSD on my HP PC. And I want to transfer my operating system to it.

    Now my question is, how do I activate windows when I have the OEM windows where I think that the key is activated for my motherboard. How can I transfer my windows on my SSD.

    I had Windows 8 early on, now I have upgraded to windows 10.

    @Peos98001: activation of the Win10 is, in fact, related to the motherboard - but you say nothing about how to change that.

    Information from the hard drive is not part of the activation information stored on the servers of activation of Ms.  Once a machine (Microsoft refers to it as a 'device') is activated, you can change the hard disk (and other components) as often as you want and it will remain activated.

    How do I know this? Simple - I did EXACTLY what you plan to do - migrate my installation Win10 of a HDD to SSD.  And when I rebooted with the SSD, the activation remained intact - there wasn't anything I had to do.

    Good luck

  • When you try to restore the system using the system image, Windows 7 does not find the USB HDD.

    I have 3 computers backed up with their images of system on an external USB drive.

    However, when you try to restore a computer using system image, Windows 7 fails to find the USB HDD.

    I think it would be probably due to the fact that the WindowsImageBackup folder is probably not in the right place or a superfluous folder. Here's an example of how my disk backup has arranged record...

    I realize that the WindowsImageBackup folder should be at the origin, so I moved this computer folder #1 a less E:\

    However, restoration is unable to find it and can't even see the USB HDD.

    Can anyone offer advice on what I can hurt?

    Original title: restore the System Image

    Thank you all for responding with your advice and suggestions but the failure has been a bit of my doing (?).

    When I went to another port for the USB, everything worked fine! Simple solution, that I should have tried first - duh! :-)

    My USB 3.0 4TB drive was originally on a port USB 3 (which was either missing or not recognized by my Bios) and when I changed my old disk ports USB 2, everything has worked well!

    Thanks again, all...

  • Install Windows 7 on SSD 4?

    Bought a new pc with SSD 128 G 3 and an ssd 256G and a 2 TB hard drive

    I would like to install windows 7 Ultimate on a ssd 128G, ssd 256G programs/software and other SSDS 2X128G serve as a timeline for Photoshop etc...

    How would you suggest putting in place while in disk for maximum performance management?

    Stripped volume or not?

    I would firstly 2 SSDS for the plan of installation in Raid 0

    The data would be hard disk

    Can I install windows 7 Ultimate on the first disk (disk Basic) then create dynamic disk on all four discs (after creating Raid 0 on handset the SSD to the Assembly plan)?

    Or which is exaggerated and I just point Windows to other SSD for programs and plan Assembly?

    It is my first build so would appreciate comment/help

    Thanks in advance

    Although RAID must be 1 configured in BIOS, no diskmgmt, at least

    2 HDs must, or must be connected at this time, after the BIOS, you will need to

    Configure the RAID in a pre windows start menu, this command sets for the RAID configuration.

    Once through, format and install windows. In addition, small HDs have better performance,

    HD 2 to, you can set them as non-RAID, you just a bunch of disks, settings

    JBOD, questionable installation... For more information about RAID, try this link
