Sure Lisa, I believe it has something to do with how Windows System recovery works. I agree that it "should" not have this problem but to my knowledge, it still does in the latest v4.0 and it had the same problem in v3.x and with Windows 7
Whenever I image an OS with the Samsung Data Migration tool, remove the old drive, and then install the new one... system recovery is off.
This removes the ability to go back to a restore point or recover recently deleted files (by right-clicking in any folder -> Properties -> Previous Version)
To fix it, go to System Protection Settings
- Right Click "This PC" -> Properties -> System Protection
- You will see the old C: greyed out with protection On, while the new C: is not greyed out but off.
- To turn it off you select the old one -> Select Configure -> Disable system protection.
- Once you hit Ok the old drive will be gone and you will be able to turn it on for the new drive and set the configuration the way you want.
Thanks,
Mike
