Ok got my new 60 gig SSD Sniper, did a complete system backup - Windows7 32 bit, installed new drive in laptop (Vostro 1500)
Run the Windows7 install, select System Recovery options and select system image recovery,
select the image and when the restore starts get this message
The disk set as active in BIOS is to Small 0X80042407
I have install Win7 on the SSD drive but cannot get the Video driver to work (not supported on the GM965 mobile express chipset) somehow I got it to work on my old Harddrive. So I made an image and want to restore the system to the new drive.
searching, came up with some Internet advice, nothing worked. examples below
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are too few disks on this computer or one or more of the disks is too small...
1. Choose Command Prompt in the Windows Recovery Environment menu
2. Run diskpart, the disk utility. The goal is to create disk partitions/volumes structure that resemble the backup image. While I was inside DiskPart environment, I used the following commands:
a) list disk to see the list of hard drives recognized by Windows
b) The drive I wanted to recover was identified as Drive 0 (zero) so I used the command select disk=0 to make the drive active.
c) Then I used the command create partition primary size=40960 to create a 40GB partition on that drive.
d) I used list partition to see the list of partitions on that drive
e) The partition I just created was identified as Partition 0 (zero) so I used the command select partition=0 to make the partition active.
f) I used the command format fs=ntfs label="System Drive" quick to format the partition, then I used list volume to see the list of volumes recognized by the system.
g) The volume I just created was identified as Volume 1 so I used the command select volume=1 to make the volume active. Then I used the command assign letter=C to assign the C drive letter, which corresponds to the one in the backup image.
f) I then use exit to quit DiskPart and another exit to quit the Command Prompt.
