Aaaargh....loosing the will to live with windows.
My 50gb ocz vertex drive gave up the ghost today.
So I bought a samsung 250gb model and thought I could restore onto it.

i currently have a clean install on the new samsung c: drive, but windows wont let me restore onto it from the image on the backup drive.
