Cloning XPS M1530 HDD to new OCZ SSD - How to?
I want to purchase a new 250GB SSD from OCZ and replace in my XPS M1530.
I am using Acronis True Image to backup my C:\ partition and have successfully
reinstalled on the HDD when I had an issue - so I trust this S/W.
If I want to clone the HDD to the new SSD including the MBR + 3 existing paritions,
what else do I need? Can I do a fresh install and use disk management to get
the partitions right on the new drive and then restore C:\ from HDD to SSD?
The sector sizes differ and the parition size will be larger (more free space)
on the SSD since it is bigger.
So I am a little unclear on how to get it going? Or do I need more sophsticated S/W
like Easy Migrate that will clone the MBR and other partitions as well?
