whschul Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 A general question, I would like to try the SSD 256 Gig drive, but would like to image the OS and everything to it using Acronus True Image. Which means that the OS was originally installed with IDE in bios and really want to try the SSD with the BIOS in IDE mode. Will it work, even if I have a little degrading in performance, or will it be a total diaster... THanks, for any hints., William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 5, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 5, 2009 In most cases (99%) it will work fine, I would suggest making sure that you have the latest BIOS and chipset drivers installed be fore you do the image. But a lot really depends on the MB you use and if it will auto set AHCI or not. I would suggest connecting the drive as a second drive and quick format it before you image the O.S. to the drive so the drivers are installed.

Steele Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Actually, my experience is no; you will enter into constant reboot before GUI loads. EDIT: My bad; sorry, I thought I read you wanted to restore an image created from a system installed in IDE mode to one set in the BIOS for AHCI; Ram Guy is exactly right and I must learn to read a little better. It will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 12, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 12, 2009 It is always best to do a clean install of the OS anyhow to get the best results and less complications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whschul Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 I understand about the fresh install, but to move all the programs and all the keys required after a fresh install, is there a automatic way to do that... A application mover or somthing like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 12, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 12, 2009 Not that I know of the only way would be to image the drive using like Accronics Drive Image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
