Restore from netbook to laptop or desktop

Recommended Posts

When I got my laptop a few years ago I was advised to create a backup folder with the same name as the backup folder on the desktop, which was D:\User_data\The Master Genealogist v7\Backups. That works well when updating and moving backups for restoring the other computer to the newer data.

 

I've now "invested" in a 10" netbook and have installed TMG7, mainly for use in research centres, libraries, etc. My problem is that the netbook only has a C:\ drive. It's supposed to be 160GB but there's only 127GB free. Could I take a section (perhaps 30-50GB) of that drive and make into a D:\ and create a "user data" folder; if so, how do I go about that without interfering with the existing programs?

You need to partition the drive. What is the operating system? Win7 has the tools built in. WinXP doesn't.

 

Thanks, Jim. I've just started using Win 7 and wasn't aware that those tools were available. All good; TMG 7 up and running.
