The goal:
I want to move my windows 7 installation from the old SSD to a new one.
The problem:
The 100MB system partition that windows uses to boot is on another drive. Why and how did it get there is not up for discussion now.
Disk setup:
128GB Kingston (old) SSD:
- one NTFS partition, whole disk, windows 7 installed here
150GB Raptor:
- 100MB windows system partition
- one NTFS partition for the rest
2TB backup/data drive:
- one big NTFS partition, with enough space to store all three other disks
120GB OCZ (new) SSD:
- one big ext4 partition (used for linux, but I don't care what happens to it now, consider this disk empty)
I want to move the windows to the new SSD and I want to have all that is required too boot it on the same drive. (Right now I have too tell BIOS to boot the raptor which then boots the old SSD). Normal disk imaging with Acronis or a similar program may not work because windows needs that 100MB partition to boot. If I could somehow create the 100MB partition on the old SSD, copying it to the new one wouldn't be a problem, but as it is, I don't know what to do.
