Going from HDD to SSD

[Michael Bellamy]

Okay, I've been going at it for 2 days now, and tired of browsing other people's problems without solving my own.

Here is the situation:

I had a HDD. I bought a SSD. I need to move my OS to the SSD, but I lost my installation disc, so I've been trying to migrate/clone. I don't care about any data, I simply want my SSD running as the boot drive, so I can wipe my old HDD.

I've tried using multiple programs, and nothing is working. I either end up needing to pay money, or use an install CD. I know its possible to do this based on what I'm reading, I just keep hitting dead ends.

Thanks for your help.

Then I think that should end up with the Windows Setup Disk trick
