Reinstalling Vista Ultimate on second SATA hard drive
Can't find this exact question here.... so mine is:
I bought a new SATA internal HDD and want to move my current Vista installation to it. I should have no trouble moving the system files to that new drive. The key question is: Will Vista need me to reactivate? Will there be any other product hiccups? |

Simply changing a drive should not trip Vista's activation software, but if it does, then it is only a phone call to reactivate. It's not a big deal. You should have no problems. Be sure to carefully follow the instructions, especially about rebooting when you do this change. It's really easy to fry the clone drive if you boot it in the wrong place or at the wrong time. Have fun. |
