Just installed Win7 64bit to a SSD partition. Drive installed internally. Have a sata caddy installed. Can I using the caddy can I transfer files from a HDD with Win7 32 bit to the SSD or another Sata Partitioned HDD?
Thank you for any assistance given.

Yes the 64bit (or 32 bit) has nothing to do with the way files are stored or transferred. If the drive in the Caddy is an older FAT32 system you will only be able to transfer up to 4GB if NTFS then the worlds your oyster. If it is FAT32 then you can reformat to NTFS.
Just to reittereate, the OS whether its 32 or 64 bit will have no effect on transfers of files (provided you aren't trying to move protected files etc. or you'll need the admin password for the 32bit OS)
