    I'm buying a new Samsung SSD drive 64 gb and want to transfer my current win7 OS and configurations onto the new hard drive.

    Can someone provide a step by step procedure guide on what I would have to do when I get my new drive in the mail to when I actually boot it up in the system and transfer the OS into it?

    I own a Gateway p7805u laptop and have one free slot for this SSD. Can't wait to get this SSD show on the road!
