- Install Windows 7
- Reboot with DVD and enter "Repair your computer" mode
- Select "Load Drivers" and load the drivers for your RAID card
- Select command prompt
- Identify your drives. For me, c:\ was the SSD with the OS and f:\ was my RAID 1
- Move the users directory with:
- move c:\Users c:\Users.bak
- User diskpart to assign the mount point (pay attention to your disk numbers, as they could be different from mine)
- diskpart
- list disk
- select disk 2
- select partition 1
- assign mount=c:\users
- exit
- From the command prompt, copy the user files back:
- robocopy /mir /xj c:\Users.bak c:\Users
- Reboot, and your done.

Will this work on a system where all material on old xp computer was moved with easy file transfer to the new computer w 80 GB SSD and 2 500 GB HDD in Raid 1 array? The HDD have nothing on them and SSD is almost full. Need to move off as much nonprogram stuff as I can.
