Hi everyone,
I recently bought an asus s200e from comet and i'm having huge problems with the hdd upgrade.
The asus came with an 500gb hitachi and I want to upgrade it with a 256gb Samsung 830, on to the issue. I haven't got restore cd's and asus didn't provide software to create any... so I tried to clone the drive.
The original drive is larger than the ssd so the cloning fails, I've tried Norton ghost, reflect, clonezilla... and nothing worked. it clones part of the hard drive but not the key partitions e.g. system, restore, c:, etc.
What am I doing wrong? I've even tried to install W8 on it via the install.wim file on the recovery partition but then it wouldn't boot into the ssd and was only going to bios...
Any ideas??
