Moving Win 7 and apps from 2 drives to 2 partitions

I have a win 7 Home Premium install that's working fine but I need to do some storage upgrades.
At present, 7 boots from an 80GB SSD and has Windows and some apps installed there. But it's only 80GB and I'm worried about future space (24GB left). In light of that, over the past year, I have also been installing some additional apps on to the E: drive
(a WD Raptor 600GB) when given the choice. There appear to be about 10GB in the 2 win program folders on E: and less than 1GB of User files on there.
I have a 240GB SSD and want to partition it as about 160GB C: and 80GB E:.
If I clone all of the C: onto SSD partition 1, can I simply copy "program files" and "p f (x86)" from the old E: WD onto the E: partition of the new SSD? The pagefile.sys is also currently on E: but I can temp disable paging until after
the new swap.
Should I also move some user stuff from old E; HD to new E: SSD?  "In theory" would this work? Is the "system volume info" folder on E: a problem if not moved?
Machine is a Sandy Bridge i5 2500K, 16GB RAM, middling video card..... I HAVE to get my XP machine closed up and start working full time on this one. My plan is to make a VM on the WD and clone the XP install to that... would not boot from it, just have
a couple of apps that are there where the install discs have "evaporated"...
Thanks,
GLarry

Do you mean to change the system partition? This canbe done.
But for the moving files with programs, I don't think it will work.

  • Is there a way to transfer all the music and apps from an iphone to a computer with a new hard drive

    I've had a new hard drive fitted in my laptop and i wanted to know if there is a way that i could tranfer my music and app from my iphone to itunes on the computer?

    Yes, the Mac can read NTFS drives, but not write to them.
    If you have the drive formatted FAT or exFAt then the Mac can read and write to it. But before formatting, remove the data as it's erased, and format it on the PC as it's easier. Right click on Windows and Format.
    Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's
    Moving your personal data via the external drive is likley the best option, there are other methods like Migration, but they are problematic and take a long time, a drive is simple, fast and direct.

  • How do I transfer my music and apps from my ipod touch 4g to a new computer?

    The hard drive on my old computer failed so I no longer have access to my itunes library that was saved onto that computer. Is there anyway I can transfer my music and apps to my new computer? I would prefer not using one of those shady online tools... I don't want to lose any of my music or apps since I have some paid ones on there. I'm afraid that if I connect it to the new computer then everything will be lost. If that happens the I'll never be able to get any of my music and apps back (or at least it'll be real difficult). Can anyone please please please help me?

  • ITunes Music and Apps in C Drive

    I'm using iTunes in Windows. It is storing all the imported Music files and apps in C drive which is taking upto 15 GB.
    All the apps are already available in my iPhone and iPad. If I need to install any deleted app I can download and install. So is there anyway to prevent app backup while syncing?
    Also all my music files are available in D Drive. So is there any way to prevent backup of music files in C Drive?

    Open Finder. Press shift+command+H. Go to Music>iTunes. Drag and drop the iTunes Contents folder onto iTunes (you should see a green + sign when you mouse over).

    You can use the IMacsoft to help you transfer all the files(music, movie,contact, call list, SMS,etc) from the old iPhone to your new iPhone 5S, transferring just need a few seconds, I have tried it and everything works so well.

  • How do I transfer library and playlists from external drive to PC?

    My old PC with iTunes died for good. Luckily library and playlists were save on and external hard drive. How do I transfer my library and playlists from that drive to another PC (Windows XP) and are the arrangement of tracks within the playlists included?

    Correction to my last post (in bold): I'll try to explain what I did originally, not knowing everything that would be required to transfer, so you can better understand my situation. Just before my first computer died I saved my Music folder containing iTunes, Library, and Playlists folders to an external drive, so I no longer have programs, sub-folders or other information rooted in my first computer. I then downloaded iTunes to my second computer (Dell Vostro 1520, WindowsXP). I then dragged my Music folder from the external drive to iTunes 11.1.5.5 music tab and near as I can tell the library was transferred because in the Songs tab, the tracks are there in duplicate, one with the exclamation at the left and one that functions playback. (However, my total song number is doubled and that can be addressed later if it doesn't impede anything). In individual playlists each track within has a “not connected” mark. I have an extensive playlist catalogue so I would rather not have to reconnect them one by one. Can you think of a solution where I don't have to do that? Would you like more info? Aragorn

    Are you sure of that?  Check in the Library.  Click on the Apps icon to see all apps.  Similarly click on the Music icon to see the songs.

    If you sign in to your Apple ID then your apps will be visible by clicking the "purchased" tab at the bottom of the screen.
    Music you've purchased from Apple will appear automatically if you sign in to your account. Other music you'll need to download from your PC assuming you're not subscribed to iTunes Match.
