need to make system drive and boot drive the same drive

G

Guest

I have recently reconfigured my computer so that it has the system drive (c:) separate from the boot drive (d:). There is no data or programs on the c: drive and I would like to remove it. However, this would obviously be a bad call until the d: drive has whatever the c: drive currently has that makes it the system drive. How can I do this?

Hi,

You will need to reinstall the operating system to the boot drive. You
cannot simply copy it over and expect it to work, as everything in the
system files and registry will be pointing in the wrong direction. Use the
Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to export your current system settings,
then import this into the new installation in order to ease the pain of
reconfiguring everything.
