Hi all,
My system currently is a 120gb Kingston SSD with OSX 10.9 and Win7 sitting side-by side (60gb each). I want to migrate the Win7 install to a new 120gb Samsung SSD as it has run out of space, so I backed the whole disk up.
My first attempt was to use Clonezilla to copy the Win7 partition to the new disk, and this worked okay, but the registry still referred to the original win7 install (C:, while the new boot disk was F: ).
I tried restoring the original disk image to the new Samsung, and then Cloning the Win7 partition from there over to the old Kingston, but when I do this, I get the infamous "Bootmgr is missing" (tried a few cmd fixes/startup repair etc, no avail). Not sure why this doesn't work when the previous way worked fine... It may be because I deleted the Win7 partition from the Samsung before booting?
Anyway, any ideas on how I can do this? I'd rather not reinstall if possible, I know it would probably be easier in the long run but I have a lot of software that might be a pain in the ass to find again, and as is the system works okay (less than optimal obviously because I'm very low on drive space!)
