    Windows 7 transfer

    Hi there,

    In my system I currently have a Corsair Force3 60gb SSD. This is plugged into a rocketraid 620 card by highpoint. What I want to know is, If I unplug it from this card (is not set-up in a raid) and plug it ino my new motherboard, will I be able to run Method One on this website using sysprep?http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...-computer.html

    to make this simple, could i unplug my ssd from my card, plug it into my mobo and have it work without issue?

    Thanks!

    Re: Windows 7 transfer

    You should be OK simply plugging your SSD in to the mobo, one of three things could happen;

    1) It works
    2) Windows enters repair mode, follow the instructions and it will sort everything out for you
    3) Windows won't boot, if this happens then boot from the Windows DVD and select the repair option etc

    I wouldn't bother with the methods in the Seven Forums link; while they will work it's unnecessary since you're not moving between different machines.

    As always, backup important data before doing somthing like this.

    Re: Windows 7 transfer

    It will work as long as the drivers for the new HDD controller are present and working in the windows install....otherwise you will get a get 7b bsod.

    I've yet to see win7 repair itself from 7b.

    Best chance is if you toggle the regkey for AHCI and then set the HDD to IDE mode and let windows redetect....then move to another system (set to IDE in BIOS) and then once working toggle the AHCI key again and set the drive back to AHCI in BIOS.

    So should I install the drivers for the new motherboard before switching? or should I set to IDE in bios, reboot, let windows redetect. Then plug into new mobo and have that on ide to get it working? then switch to ahci in bios?

    Re: Windows 7 transfer

    To make things simple here is what I want to do (hope this helps)

    1. Take ssd out of the raid-card and plug it into the new mobo

    If I delete the raid-card drivers will this help?

    Re: Windows 7 transfer

    Ok....take the RAID card and plug it into new mobo.......Windows should boot up and sort itself out.

    Then make sure the SATA ports are configured as IDE. Boot Windows and let it detect the IDE ports. Once done you should be able to shut down and move drive to on-board port....boot back up and set the AHCI regkey and then shutdown and set to AHCI in BIOS.

    Basically the trick is that the Windows install your trying to keep/move has all the drivers installed and configured for both the controller your currently using and the one you want to switch it to....IDE mode is the closest thing to a failsafe when doing this as well. I've had it fail numerous times using the AHCI drivers.

    Thank you so much!
