| Guest | Vista on drive D in dual boot: how to clone it to drive C ? Hello, I have a dual boot system: XP PRO on drive C and Vista Home Premium on drive B. I want to replace my hardrive, and move (or clone) Vista to new drive and be it C drive. Vista is still virgin and not other programs are installed, so changing it location from D to C drive will not influance any applications. I know how to create hard drive image. My question is how to make that new c drive with Vista on it bootable again. Is there any utility I can use? Jack |

| Guest | Re: Vista on drive D in dual boot: how to clone it to drive C ? If Vista was installed from the DVD and sees itself as your C drive you will be okay. If you installed Vista from the XP desktop and it sees itself as D, you will have to reinstall to have it as C.
