Transfering OS to SSD

Raraken SG

I know, but all the googled guides require the installation disk.

The Windows 7 Beta CDs will work just fine for the purpose.

Windows 7...lol xD

Thanks i forgot i was using Windows 7 lol.

I kept thinking that i was using Vista.

I found the disk.

I remembered that the guy who "diy" my pc put it in the motherboard box.

Though it was good news to have found the disk, but they are no recovery options inside...only installation of Windows 7.

Anyway, i found out the cause of the error.

The System Reserved drive 100MB which is supposed to be at the start of the disk, and that it is not present on the SSD.

What will be the best way to solve this? There is currently data on the SSD.

Read the article I posted above and attempt the steps inside. That usually solves the boot up issues I have if I FUBARed my OS or BOOTMGR.

Problem solved.

Boot up now takes only 7 seconds.

Probably not worth spending on a laptop?

It might be, for the increased responsiveness and battery life as well as heat reduction.

While having an SSD does increase responsiveness, an actual amount of it depends on your processor.

This is an article regarding SSD power usage.

Changing to an SSD wouldn't really help with heat reduction.

I don't think you've had a <14" laptop with a 7200rpm HDD, and just how hot the HDD gets. SSDs take minimal power, and give off very little heat. And I know my laptop's CPU will handle it, got a RAID set-up running at full speed once.

Fucking rough classmates. They love to shake tables, etc. Hate it. I get random impact records every few hours.

How sure are you that all the heat comes from the HDD?

I do not have as the above, but i do know how hot it gets.

But most of the heat isn't from the HDD.

Laptop components are by nature hot due to everything "cramped" up.

So i don't see how you can reduce much heat by changing to an SSD.

of coz i'm not discouraging you from buying SSD.

How about the HDD running at 53C, and on extended periods of time whent he laptop is on the table, the HDD bay cover gets too hot to touch?The panel above the CPU is relatively cool, and GPU as well. The hottest thing happens to be the HDD.

Hmm...never happened before to me.
