Here is my current situation:
I have 2 hard drives in my computer, my main win8 C:, and a win7/game/data drive, the second of which is failing. reports show it is failing a smart short test, and although it has been running fine for months, i figured i would replace it with my tax return.
my question:
if i create a system image of C: and D:, would it be possible to just restore the D: portion of the image, or do i have to restore both, then delete the second C: on the new drive? i do not have the resources or courage to test this on my system now because I am not sure what this reformats, and with my luck, the drive would die during the restore.
thanks everyone!
