Vista on drive D in dual boot: how to clone it to drive C ?

[Jack]

Hello,
I have a dual boot system:
XP PRO on drive C and Vista Home Premium on drive B.
I want to replace my hardrive, and move (or clone) Vista to new drive and be
it C drive.
Vista is still virgin and not other programs are installed, so changing it
location from D to C drive will not influance any applications.
I know how to create hard drive image. My question is how to make that new c
drive with Vista on it bootable again.
Is there any utility I can use?
Jack

You can use your Vista DVD and do a "startup repair"

I don't think that will work. The driveletter belongs to the
installation, and is everywhere in the system, such as the
register, present.


Bye, Bughunter.

Hi,

You can't change the drive letter without reinstalling. This applies to both
XP and Vista.

If Vista was installed from the DVD and sees itself as your C drive you will
be okay. If you installed Vista from the XP desktop and it sees itself as
D, you will have to reinstall to have it as C.
