if you are using this upgrade, you must first do the upgrade to windows 8 and then to 8.1. After you have done the upgrade you need to look in the folder "WindowsESD" for the file "install.esd" That will create a USB boot or an ISO file which may be burned to a DVD Other wise, if you use the option given, to create media when you use the download file, you will still only have an upgrade version.

It would have been helpful if you had described what you intend to do. Clone what, exactly, would be a good start. And do you have any extra hardware available, such as an unused HDD that could be used for temporary storage?

I would invest in a DVD/CD USB drive for installation. Be sure to have all the drivers available on a flashdrive.

The manual (printed or PDF) contains instructions. There are also PDF files in the support site that cover this. It's 100% possible, but you need a USB Flash Drive, and another computer to prep it. It takes some time to work so be patient. But it works. That's how I did it. Importantly: you may need to perform the CAP migration first. Read the docs, they walk you throught it. It's essentially the same procedure as "blind flashing" (flashing without boot).

No but you can boot from a standalone CD program and make a copy of a drive that has been freshly formatted.

I've had bad luck trying to install from a usb drive, had to use the original dvd. Another possiblility is occasionally windows 7 does not have the correct ahci/raid drivers, but it should ask for them if needed.

I just saw that it's Windows 7 you want to go to. It's the same procedure basically. You need to get your data off that system if possible. You'll also need a Windows 7 install disk.

Data that you have saved to the USB flash drive can be moved to a location of your choice on your new computer using the copy command and then paste command under 'edit' in your file viewing program. Note that for some operating systems you can create a 'live' system of your operating system on a flsh drive and then boot from it and rebuild if something goes wrong. The scandisk 32 Gbt would be better for this. this

You should be able to. I was able to reformat it to ext4 for a Linux data drive with no problems.

Maybe... You have to make sure to go into boot and set it up so you can have the choice to boot from USB. You might run into the problem of both drives sharing the same cable, but with mine when I go to "My Computer" the drives are listed separately, so it might. Good luck.

If you have a large enough USB jump drive you can make a install from it. Just make the USB drive bootable, i used Diskpart in windows 7. (only diskpart in vista and 7 supports USB devices) Once the USB drive is setup to be bootable just copy all the files from the windows install CD to the root of the USB drive. Reboot computer into bios and edit the boot order for USB device first. if everything worked it should prompt a install just like the windows install CD. Im not going to list the commands for diskpart just google for it. i hope this helps

I suspect it will NOT boot if you copy to a new disk as the current drive sounds like it has physical issues. This device makes a sector-by-sector mirror image of the existing drive so I would not be optimistic a copy of it will boot properly.

To the best of my knowledge yes. Reason I say this is USB boot to flash bios works fine

You would need a valid (unused) Windows 7 key, so most likely you'd need to buy a copy. I just did this, there are a few changes you need to make in bios to get it to install, too.

Might, this drive does not work on all the systems, most likely it will succeed to do the image copy, but you must have the option on your main board BIOS to disable the S.M.A.R.T option. If you do not, that it will crash the system. This drive is not compatible with some boards. I would buy PNY or Kingston, they do not have that problem

Pretty straight forward if you have built a PC before. Just need to make absolutely sure you order the right notebook memory and SSD drive that work with it. Happy to help you with that. You also need to know how to load an operating system from a flash drive. scanseattle@gmail.com

Copy the software from the CD to a flash drive and the plug the flash drive into the ASUS and youre good to go. Works for me. I also purchase a little slim CD/DVD burner on ebay for about 46 bux. it plugs into two of the usb points, one for data and one for power. It's about 1/2" thick and just a little bigger the a CD.
