semp, in the case of the ssd I can tell you why it failed and how to fix it. It's just a matter of knowing what went wrong.
I think if you read through this entire thread you can figure out why moving the AH installation sometimes fails, also.
of course you can figure it out, but wont the easiest way is the best way sometimes? for example moving the ah installation requires to check those 5 files as being read only, on the other hand it takes 10 seconds to just remove them and let ah rebuild them.
as for the ssd, the fastest way was to just install windows all over which took me about 15 minutes and also got rid of some clutter I had in the older version. for example some drivers that I had used in the past but werent completely clean would have been also moved. the first time I was able to sucessfully transfer the os to the ssd, i had the same problem of my x55 throttle not being recognized which is the reason i got the ssd to begin with. I could probably have researched and fixed it, but a new installation was easier and it immediately recognized the throttle.
sometimes it's better to start all over of course you could have learned a thing or two but then again was it really worth the time spending learning that thing or two? for some it would, but for me it wasnt as I dont have a lot of time to really play aces high due to my work.
point is do what is easiest for you. either way is right.
