Question from newbie in ssd:
1. Is it common these days to buy a new notebook and instantly replace with SSD ? 2. The original harddisk comes inside the notebook has a hidden partition where it stores the COMPLETE windows/drivers/softwares for re-installation purpose in the event when u need to perform fresh installation of Windows. After we replace it with SSD and clone it, will this partition also bulat-bulat exist in the new SSD ?? |

QUOTE(wiraone @ Nov 27 2012, 07:17 PM) @chinkw1, After physically replace the HD with SSD, how to fresh install Windows to SSD from HD (hidden partition) ?For me, I replaced them straight away. You can feel hell lot of different experience after going to SSD. Do not clone the existing HD, reinstall the OS on the SSD. No point wasting your precious space with unneeded stuff.  |

QUOTE(rifle_m16 @ Nov 27 2012, 07:24 PM) Fresh install. But nowadays, when we buy new notebook, they no longer give CD.Install directly from CD, reactivate your Windows using the original key, install drivers and you're done. Btw, you wont have your hidden partition anymore because it's on your old HDD. You don't need it, just bunch of crappy utilities inside.  They only put the stuffs in the hidden partition in the HD...  |
