Hi all,
I am replacing my pc shortly and would like to transfer all my software and settings from my old "C" drive onto my new pc but not xp (I am getting a new xp so as to GET a voucher upgrade to the new Vista or maybe it will be a better idea to run the xp from my old pc and buy Vista as it comes out!!)
Can this be done and if so what software do I need.
 :-?
Thanks
Ned
The software will need to be reloaded from the original CD's for a correct installation. Windows should be installed when you get the new machine, whatever it is. Just copying that over onto new hardware seldom works. Data files are easily BURNED to a CD/DVD for movement. Special instruction are availabel for easy transfer of e-mail, IE settings, addressbook, etc.Here are a few ways to copy ur data and preserve settings...

Well the first part is partially preserving a windows configuration with nLite. With that u can make ur own personalized Windows Installation CD, but it's got it's limits.

After that u can copy data and settings. The problem here is I've only found software that u need 2 pay 4, that can do this
My 2 favourites are Genie Backup Manager and Acronis True Image. They both can copy settings and data onto a medium of ur desire.

But if u've got two computers with a windows installation on it u can use Windows own functin to copy ur stuff. START-->All Programs-->Accesories-->System Programs-->Assistant to copy files and settings.

Hope this helps Quote
