Re: Move OS to SATA drive?

OP: Stick with the TI you have. IT's capable and will
fille the bill. Don't add more confusion by adding a
new app; it's counterproductive when you already have
it.

You probably want the "clone" feature. Clone to the
drive W, make drive C a non-existing letter, and rename
W to C. If your boot drive isn't C it'll create
confusion later on, down the line. Other than possibly
drive size, nothing to swtich in CMOS that way either.

I have added a 250GB SATA drive partitioned into W:

Would like to move OS and programs from C: to the W:
partition on the SATA drive.
I have Acronis True Image v10 and have gone through
the
help files but I can only see how to clone the whole
drive to another whole drive, not clone the active
partition only to another partition.
Am I missing something here?
Any advice appreciated.

I do not know Acronis software - I usually use BootIt
from
http://terabyteunlimited.com/ . The problem may be
that
partition should be copied to free space on another
drive. Try BootIt - IMO it's much easier to use.
