Transfer complete Harddrive to backup hard drive in vista
Good Morning! I have a IDE hard drive with Win XP on my old computer and would like to transfer all files and programs to a spare hard drive in my new computer. The idea is to be able to boot the old hard drive in the new computer. The new computer has Vista 32 ultimate with 4 sata hard drives. At this time only one hard drive is connected. How do I link and preform this task? -- James Ryel |

Is your installation of winxp a retail version, or OEM supplied with your
old PC? If the latter, no can do as its licensed only to the origonal PC "James Ryel" wrote in message ... Good Morning!

The old computer i custom built from scratch with the full price XP OS disk (I still have). Started playing online games back in 1999 need I say more. Wanted to transfer the whole package due to length and time for a re install. The new computer I built has: CPU E6850 4 gig's of ram 8800 GTX vidio card Sharkey Extreem mother board 4 SATA hard drives - 1 being used -- James Ryel |

If no one comes along, google for Vista Dual boot
You'll have to conduct a repair installation of winxp to install the correct drivers "James Ryel" wrote in message ...
