I'm using my C drive as my boot drive. The problem is that it's a 64GB SSD and it's almost completely full. My D drive is a 128 GB SSD and has plenty of room on it. My question is, is there a way to transfer everything from my C drive to my D drive and have the D drive become the boot drive?

Thanks in advance!

Yes you can image the c drive to the d and then make the change in the bios

Just make sure you copy the MBR(master boot record).

Thanks. So what's the difference between imaging and cloning the drive, and which one is better? Also, what utilities can you recommend to do this?

At work I use a free program called PING. http://ping.windowsdream.com/

It allows me to make a copy of a HDD and place it onto another HDD with the exact same hardware sans HDD. You'll need something to image the drive to and then to restore it from.

I want to say GHOSt/Acronis can do it from one drive to the next without actually creating an image, but it's been many years since I have used those programs.
