Vista upgrade to new harddrive
- I have bought a new SATA drive and I want to do my Vista install on it so I can preserve my existing system. But I have an upgrade version of Vista so have to run the upgrade from the existing XP system. The new hard drive is not formatted so is not recognized by the existing XP system. I have been afraid to proceed with the install for fear it will try to overwrite my existing system.
How do I proceed?- 이동됨RickImAPC중재자2009년 7월 7일 화요일 오후 6:44 (From:Windows Update)

- Contact the Manufacturer of the new Hard Drive.
They normally provide cloning Software.

You can not install an upgrade version of Vista on your new Hard Drive by itself, and keep XP running as well on the other Hard drive..
You only have a Vista Upgrade Licence.
You can upgrade XP to Vista on the original Drive.
Or, reinstall XP on the new HD, upgrade to vista, and wipe the 1st XP drive.
Cheers.
