[SOLVED] Transfer LL from laptop to desktop w/ win7 sp1 (side-by-side)

[tripple aught]

  I was curious about the WARNING in the command response to Fixparts....

But to answer your question: I have a 320GB USB drive that I have the REDO backup on now. It's empty except for that. It's my understanding that you can not boot from a USB drive... is that correct ?

I could redo the REDO onto a USB stick as backup and have the entire 320GB free.

I'm wondering if there's really something screwy about the aftermarket install of Win7 on the desktop.... Other people with Win7 don't have to jump through these hoops - do they?

I'm thinking that there aught aught aught to be a way to put LL on the desktop with Win 7... I'd like to stay with that plan if possible.

PS.  FYI : I'm open to all possibilities. I will be using LL as my main system... I just still want the windows for programs that can't run with a Linux system. If there's a way to put Win (X) on another drive and have LL take the whole desktop, I would be ok with that. ALSO be it known that in no way would I ever even think about holding you accountable for anything that may happen to the desktop.... so if there's something wild and crazy that you would like me to try... consider it a learning experience for everyone... a 'project' (of sorts) .
