If the original CHS translation is different from the new one, these leads to a non-booting disk. Restore MBR: restores just the first sector of the diskĬheckBoot: unfortunately, even 2007 some boot sector still use CHS addressing. Restore Partition Structure: deletes the existing partitioning, and repartitions the disk like the original one includes restoring the MBR I can't use: "Restore Partition Structure" because of the smaller size of the new disk. ĭo i have to choose the option: "restore mbr" to avoid boot problems? Win 7 does not have the small system partition preceding.

restore each individual image (which i have made already). partition the 500 with 4 partitions ,like the 640 but different sizes.Ģ. I never restored windows 7 to a different disk ,so this is what i plan to do:ġ.

I bought a ssd and am going to put a fresh install on it.īut i want to dual boot to my old windows for the time being,i also bought a 500 gb samsung F3 to replace the broken 640.

I am a long time user of DS,but, another WD disk is biting the dust ,a 640 black edition.(and a 1tb green disk as well)
