A Question from my son regarding HDD failure
Good evening to all.
I do hope that its okay to aske for help as its regarding my son's desktop.
About a month ago he installed windows 10 all went okay,This is how he has the desktop setup.
He has two internal HDD the main one is the C drive and on that he has his operating system and programs etc,Now on the second drive he has all his documents/pictures/music.& video's.The issue now is that the C drive is starting to play up a little.
So this is what he has asked me for help from this forum.The second drive is a 2TB and the C is only 120GB,What he is thinking of doing is to make a partition on the 2TB drive and put the operating system on that drive as it has plenty of room.
What he really wants is some info on the best way to get this job done,He has done some looking on google and come up with some info regarding cloning the existing C drive and then once he has made a partition on the second 2TB drive he than can have the C drive all on one HDD.
He has also been looking for a suitable program on how to partition the 2TB drive to accommodate the operating system that he will clone from the old C drive.
Also would like to know if he then does all that and then connect the 2TB drive to the motherboard where the existing C drive is connected will the pc recognise that TB drive as the new C drive,And also have access to the documents through the method of from the start key and select documents will the documents be available.And pictures etc.
Sorry if it's a long story,But it took him about an hour to explain to me what he wanted to achieve.
I do hope that some one can put him on the correct path here Please.
Many Thanks.
PS.Forgot to say that he has a full backup of all the contents of the 2TB Drive Documents etc.Thank You
