Why, and Norton is out.... Yup Enigma, his permissions are based on another SID. You should be able to take ownership.

But I can reboot and choose the original HD as the boot device and get to that stuff, then reboot with the new SSD.

And so, the day is saved, and I went about setting up all the drivers, installing Outlook and moving over my PSTs, MS Office, WS_ftp and the site files, etc.

Last, I added the new 1TB backup HD, formatted it, and bam, I have a ton of space to back up files. Western Digital thoughtfully provided Acronis True Image WD edition for that, but it seems to choke, telling me it will take 4 days to do the backup (after 7 hours, the whole PC stops responding). Can anyone suggest a good backup program? I also have Norton Ghost 10 from a couple years ago, I might install that and give it a try.

If your trying to mirror your HD to another HD Acronis will do this but you need a blank HD. This will allow you to swap drives keeping your current setup.

Backing up your data to me is just having it at another location other than your main HD, if your main drive fails your data is safe. Of course backing up this drive to an external would be one step more. Copy and paste to move the files.
