Today [2]

[Lorien]

Welcome back, Josh! You've been missed and it'll be great to have you posting again as a regular. I hope you enjoyed China - I've never been there (or hardly anywhere) but it must have been exciting to spend 2 weeks in such a different culture.

Gold member! You look amazing! Congratulations!

Thanks! Now I almost look like you (minus a couple of pips which is probably going to bounce back and forth or be equal over time and a Supporter rather than a Developer) - so you don't look too bad yourself.

But it is a great feeling and thanks, again.

Congrats on Gold Lorien.

I did have internet access there but in china some sites are blocked like Google is blocked (that Is why there is no google street view in China) VF was unfortunately blocked as well :-(

Congrats on the gold member badge you beat me to it ;-)

Welcome back Josh, and China! How fabulous! What parts did you visit, and tell us about your adventure! I'm jealous! I've always wanted to visit China, particularly Beijing and Singapore -- and Hong Kong (which of course is now part of China again).

Today I installed Seven Pro on my netbook, Took it's time, but it's on there. Created a partition on my main drive of 41GB, installed on there. Had an "unexpected error" first time, so I booted back to Vista, wiped the 41GB partition and tried again. I also formatted it with the Seven install disc to make sure, and viola! Just installing some programs onto it atm. I plan to copy most of my stuff from Vista to Seven, and shrink Vista partition to have a bigger Seven partition. Lol.

I'm probably wrong - if so please correct me - but I don't believe it is possible to easy transfer between partitions on the same hard drive. Transferring files and settings: frequently asked questions. You may need to transfer to an external HDD first and then from there to the other partition - but I'm not 100% certain.

When I was going to get 7, I tested on Vista. I went from one user account to thumb drive back to another user account.

Which is essentially the same as using an external HDD - just a thumb drive instead - so it will work the same way. I think it's different between partitions on the same drive because only one of the partitions is truly active at any one time. It's not like an external drive/flash drive or a cable connection to another computer or a network connection (which I thought were the only three ways to do an easy transfer).

What is good about Easy Transfer, it transfers account settings, cookies, favorites; everything but programs. Even the desktop was the same for me.

 

[Lorien]

If he has an external HDD or a flash drive, then by all means he should try an easy transfer. I do understand the benefits and would certainly try to do it myself. I'm just saying that I don't believe it can be used to transfer between partitions on the same hard drive without some other method being used. The cable method won't work. The network method won't work because both OS can't be booted at the same time. So that leaves the external HDD or flash drive method.

 

[richc46]

I agree with that

I could. I only want my Documents; picture, music, school work and coursework. I was just going to copy and paste over the drive...

So there I was, think'in.. ....It kinda' hurt at first.....I was think'in, why all the clocks and watches decided to go clockwise rather than CCW,, :huh:

I mean, even hurricanes to toilet water spin in tha' same direction depending on which pole they are near......not that has anything to do about clocks and such stuff..


Well all of a sudden, the answer just came to me like it popped right out of the ground....

If so, then that should basically work fine (though you may need to do some work with permissions and ownership) - I'm not 100% certain, but I think an Easy Transfer would not have this potential problem (if it is a problem - and I suspect it might be because the new account will be a different SSID and a copy/paste will not alter that, though again not 100% certain). Also, speaking for myself, I've made a LOT of changes to settings on my system and it would take me a while to recreate them (if I could even remember all of them and I'm sure I wouldn't). I would find it helpful to transfer them so the new system was more like the old one and what I was used to (and spent years getting it just how I wanted it) - but then again, perhaps you do want a clean start and would rather configure the new system as you go along. It's entirely up to you.
