| Vista 32 Ultimate | 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? |

| | Re: Transfer complete Harddrive to backup hard drive in vista 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" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:6f5fcd2840d94fd20d4c28714e4c841f@xxxxxx-gateway.com...
