Right now, I'm running a plain old IDE drive as my system drive.
Having discovered that this drive is used by WHS as the "Landing Zone" when new files are copied to the pool, I'd like to replace it with a SATA drive that is faster and bigger.
Has anybody been successful with:
- Imaging both partitions of the existing drive
- Partitioning the new drive exactly the same as the existing drive
- Removing the existing (IDE) drive
- Installing the new (SATA) drive
- Applying those two images to the partitions on the new (SATA) drive
- Telling BIOS to boot from the new drive
??
Logically, it seems like the only tripping point would be the IDE==>SATA part.
Or am I just wishing?
