A 256MB or larger USB flash drive (fat32 formatted) SLAX-6.x.x.tar; 7-Zip or other archive extraction tool; Windows Host to perform the USB install; SLAX USB installation tutorial: This tutorial is obsolete! Penthouse Thai Magazine there. This tutorial or version of Linux is old. Please use the Universal USB Installer instead, as it can be used to install the latest version.

I suspect that the hard drive on which my current OS (Windows 7) is located, is likely to fail soon. I want to know how to transfer my OS to a new hard drive, as I am not keen on having to re-purchase another copy of windows for a new hard drive just because of hard drive problems. I understand this will require much deactivating and uninstalling, of not only windows, but also other programs such as MOffice, Lightroom etc.

How do I go about achieving this? Ideally, I want to do this all without requiring an internet connection. My computer is not connected to the internet, and I want it to stay that way (I am using a public computer to ask this question). If I really need to, I can take my computer to a location where I can get basic internet access, but I would prefer to avoid this.

Another issue is that I may not have the original Windows 7 installation disk (I will search my house again to check). I cannot recall if I was given the disk when I bought my computer. In Australia, computer shops rarely provide customers with the installation disks for the programs that the customer has purchased, if the computer shop has done the installation for the customer (which is what happened in my case).

Also, I would like to give the new hard drive a letter other than C (for example K), as soooo many programs refuse to install to any hard drive other than the C drive. I want to do this so that the OS is totally segregated from all other programs and data. My current setup is: 4 hard drives, with the smallest one being the C drive. The C drive contains windows 7, MOffice, and several other programs or parts thereof. Review how to back up your Windows 7 installation:, the process is similar.
