i'm remodelling my pc case, and won't have space for two hard drives drives any more, so i'm creating a partition for the OS on the larger drive.
i have easus partition master installed, so i could copy the whole partition to the other drive, but will that confuse the OS? would i be better off reinstalling windows on the new partition instead?
thanks in advance :D

Copy the partition
Edit the boot info
"Oh crap, that didn't work and now it doesn't boot"
Try again...
