Hi,
I recently got a new Samsung 840 Evo 120GB ssd and installed it into my computer. Before I had a Hitachi HDD with 1.5 TB with everything installed on there. It was the only drive I had in the computer. Then I used the Paragon OS migration software to migrate the OS from the HDD to the SSD. I knew I would only want the os and some other vital programs, but in general I de-selected every program in my program files. I also de-selected all my libraries to save on space, because around 700GB would not fit onto the SSD. So I then ended up with migrating around 50GB of the OS to the SSD. I restarted the computer with booting from the SSD and everything booted fine. Then I tried launching programs that were still on the old HDD. Then a prompt came up saying, "I:<whateverprogram>.exe" (the file path) could not be found. I went into the old HDD because it still had the program files and program files (x86) folders and looked in the programs folders to find the exe file. I found those files and tried launching those, but then the same prompt came up. Then I tried deinstalling programs from the HDD and installing them onto the SSD. It would not let me deinstall because of admin rights. (This part I don't understand why the SSD is not seen as admin). I then tried to go into some system programs, like Disk Management and the same thing came up again, only this time for the program which was on the SSD.
So prompt from Disk Management was= "C:System32/<something>/diskmanagement.exe" could not be found.
Before moving the OS from the HDD, the HDD was the C: drive, as all OS drives are. The SSD was another named drive. Now after migration, the HDD was renamed to I: drive and the SSD to C: drive.
Should I reinstall windows from disc to the SSD, or is there a way to move back the os from the SSD to the HDD without deleting the existing HDD partition.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Thank You!
