| | Switching the hard drive vista is installed on I just added a new Sata 3gb/s hard drive to my computer with 500gb of space. The original hard drive that I installed Vista to was much smaller and now is out of space. I can barely even update and will soon not even be able to do that. I was wondering if their was a way to copy my Vista installation from one hard drive to the other. My main concern is keeping all of my installed programs, games etc. any help is extremely appreciated Thanx |

| | Re: Switching the hard drive vista is installed on You could image the drive, replace with much larger drive, then restore image to the new much larger drive. If you have Vista Business or Ultimate, you can use the Vista Backup program and select the full backup type of backup.
