Andrew, were you born stupid, or have you taken Stupidity 101?! You *CANNOT*
transfer the entire OS from one drive to another using the FAST wizard. The
FAST wizard *CANNOT* be used to clone a drive.

The only reason I've refrained from kill-filing you is that I want to be
able to stop you from completely screwing up someone's system (like your
advice would do if anyone followed it).

I have yet to see you post anything that

a) Made any sense

and

b) Was actually correct

Please refrain from posting until you have researched what you are about to
post.
