So I inherited this computer from my friend with all of the proper disks and liscense numbers. I put a corsair force 3 60gig ssd in the computer. My plan is to run the OS and adobe off of it. Save every other file on to the 1 gig HDD. The first Issue I run into is that I cannot straight cloan the drives, becuase the native drives even though almost all the way empty is about 10 gigs to big. I know people have done this on drives this size before.
So my next thought was ok reinstall the OS. Problem is there is no OS disks with Dells anymore I guess (former hp guy).
So here is where I am at. SSD is installed in the computer.
Here is what I need, and yes I know there are probably 15 posts that I could put together to figure this out, but I have been working on it for 4 hours and just need help:
1) How to move OS to ssd (Can I somehow just move the recovery files?? then do a fresh install from there)
2) After getting those files moved what do I need to do so that it forces the computer to ignore windows already installed on the HDD
That is a start, thanks!
