If you do that the registry will still contain pointers to C so a whole raft
of things wont work untill you reinstall them on W.
If you are simply wishing to move to make use of a larger hd, and maybe
faster, then you would be better off following the cloning instructions.
Your W will then become C
(If you have any apps installed on the other partitions they will all have
to be reinstalled)
You might also have to make adjustments in the Bios and or the sata
controler bios, to enable boot from sata.
It depends on your mobo/chipset

XP/SP2 and programs on C: drive, there are also 2 partitions D: & E: on
the same IDE drive on Primary IDE channel.
I have added a 250GB SATA drive partitioned into W: & X:.
Would like to move OS and programs from C: to the W: partition on the SATA
drive.
I have Acronis True Image v10 and have gone through the help files but I
can only see how to clone the whole drive to another whole drive, not
clone the active partition only to another partition.
Am I missing something here?
Any advice appreciated.
