You probably want the "clone" feature. Clone to the
drive W, make drive C a non-existing letter, and rename
W to C. If your boot drive isn't C it'll create
confusion later on, down the line. Other than possibly
drive size, nothing to swtich in CMOS that way either.

I have added a 250GB SATA drive partitioned into W:

Would like to move OS and programs from C: to the W:

I have Acronis True Image v10 and have gone through

Am I missing something here?
Any advice appreciated.

I do not know Acronis software - I usually use BootIt
from
http://terabyteunlimited.com/ . The problem may be
that
partition should be copied to free space on another
drive. Try BootIt - IMO it's much easier to use.



Vista will refuse to boot from an external drive. This is true even if your
Motherboard allows for booting external drives.

It may or may not install, but it certainly won't boot.

Microsoft has not yet come up to the present as far as boot devices are
concerned.
