Well, ... |

Personally I'd leave Windows on the slow disk to discourage you from |
| 9 |
using it ... :-) |

Are you trying to replace a 2.5TB hard drive with a 2TB SSD? You can't |
| 12 |
fit a quart into a pint pot! |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Anyways, recreate the partitions on the SSD, then copy them using dd. |
| 15 |
Assuming your SSD is the new sda and your old drive is sdb, |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/sda1 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
MAKE SURE you get the drives right, or you'll trash the system! Make |
| 20 |
sure also that the new partitions are the same size or larger than the |
| 21 |
partitions you're going to replace. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Then live-boot into the new drive, and re-install EFI or whatever it is |
| 24 |
you do to boot off that. |

I'm planning to migrate my system soon, but I'm going to do that a bit |
| 28 |
differently. I'll dd my home partition across (I've got hard-links |
| 29 |
galore, so a cp or rsync or whatever will have massive conniptions). |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Then I'll re-install gentoo, re-emerge all my programs, and re-create |
| 32 |
etc/passwd and all the other configuration stuff - I haven't really |
| 33 |
messed about with most of my config, so that isn't a problem. |
