Windows 7 Insists on 100 MB or 200 MB system partition

Ok, here's a question. How do I transfer my win7 installation to another hard drive? I have Norton Ghost 14, is it possible to use that?

Heck ya buddy. I have 3 disks for just that reason. Partition and set them up so you have all that stuff organized. No worrying about formatting and losing anything.

Since it is recommended by you all to keep the 100/200mb during the partition stage. But is it good to have that protected disk to expand to 100gb for OS to be installed in it? Or, better to leave it as it is?

BTW, since I had deleted that protected system of 100mb during installation stage, can I call back that again without reinstalling the Window?

Now my 500gb have 3 drives:

100mb (non protected because I deleted it off)

99Gb (WIn 7 OS C drive)

400 Gb (E drive)

Please advise
