well i have a Acer M1201 And it came with a 160gb harddrive and i bought a brand new 500gb western digital hard drive on sale for 60 bucks
And the way it came from acer is this way
OS Partition (acer) & Data
So when i reformat all the stuff stays on data and the stuff on os(acer) is removed and re-installed.
So i want to make it the same partition with the 500gb
I want the os to have 80 gb
And the data to have the rest
But is there anyway i can transfer all the data and os from the stock 160gb harddrive to the 500gb one im about to install and then go into the bios and switch the boot device to boot from the 500gb and not the stock one and have no changes?
or is it a bit harder than that?
Please help
Thanks in advance
I have the 160gb but its only coming up as for both 134.3gb
