John,
This is a real problem. I don't envy you. Last I had to rebuild a
computer, it took
me about 4 days, to get the old software reloaded and everything configured.
The way MS loads programs now, in multiple places (directory) plus
the registry vs
the old .ini files makes it impossible to move most programs from a
functioning
drive to a 2nd drive. You will have to reinstall most applications.
So the best way to make a clone of the original hard drive.
There was/is a program called GHOST that would let you make a clone of a drive.
The 1st generations required that the 2 drives (source and destination) be the
same size. Later generations lifted that restriction as long as the
destination was
equal to or greater than the source drive.
This used to be the best way to make a backup of your system and or set up a
new hard drive.
I've been looking for a good/recient version of GHOST to use to make a backup
of my working HD. Everyonce in a while I'll spend an hour or so
looking up GHOST
and or cloning a HD. So far I haven't found much that I thought
would do the job,
or it was more for a commercial environment and the cost is outragious.
If anyone has any ideas for a GHOST program or where to get it, please let us
know.
John
