4. Data Migration
NOTE: If you prefer to do a clean OS install, you may skip this section.
For Windows users, a full version of Norton Ghost 15.0 is included with every SSD 830 Series Desktop and Laptop Installation Kit. If you purchased an installation kit, please refer to the “Norton Ghost – Data Migration” User Manual included on the CD that came in your box and available online at www.samsung.com/ssd for detailed instructions on migrating all of your data, including your OS install, to your new SSD. If you have installed Samsung SSD Magician on your computer, this manual is also available from the “Site Link” section of that software.
Macintosh users can complete a data migration using the native Disk Utility application. Insert the Restore DVD that came with your computer and restart while holding down the “C” key.
