Either way, pretty impressive bit of software! It did it in less than 5 minutes!

I cant think of a way of doing that without wiping another drive/wiping the original? It was a pretty minimal win7 install. Just had a look on the original drive to see that I had a 6gb hibernate file (I thought I got rid of this) and 8gb page file so that's only 23gb of actual files.

ATH-M50 are pretty good. I have Shure SRH-840, which I love. AKG 701s are awesome but open backed so everyone can hear your tunez. I would generally avoid anything endorsed (Dre) or Bose, which are not high end, just expensive. Credentials: professional audio engineer.

Bump! I'm totally stuck with this :(

Hi all, I've been tearing hair out for the last couple of weeks trying to solve this, but I have now admitted defeat so I need some expert advice. I wasn't sure if I should put this here or in the laptop section so feel free to move it. This got a little long winded so to sum up: Sandisk SSD...
