Ok, I've tried a few ways round this and I'm not having much luck,
I want to move my O/s from an 80Gb drive to a 160Gb I have, I tried the system image backup/restore service in Win7, no hope, I end up in an endless loop (cant recover from this situation, do that instead, do what it asked yet again, same error message)
So I tried going for ultimate boot disk, (I need a copy of that anyway) I thought I'd try one of its disk clone/imaging tools, only thing is, I cant get anywhere on that either
(Ideally I want Ub on a Usb stick)
Downloaded ub4win, saved to desk.
copied my win7 disk to a folder on desk,
ran ub as admin.
Ub cant find the i386\setup file in Win7 folder to use as source,
Looping again,
do I have to use Xp to create the bootable disk?
I have access to a Xp system or two, but I'm at a loss as to whats going on with Win7,
Thanks in advance for any help,
*bit of trolling through google later, I now believe that yes, I need to go through xp to do it, oh well, learning all the time hehe
