Got a question...how can I copy the registry from one hard drive and install it on another so I can just copy all my programs/files onto the new hard drive?
And, where the heck is it? in System32? I am installing a 60 gig hard drive on the laptop replacing a winnie 20 gig one. |

okay - is there a product that can do this from some company less evil than Symentec?
the laptop (the one with the failing disk drive - yes - it must be an epidemic...) came installed with NAV and some other Norton cr*p and it was harder to get rid of than the last few viruses i've had to deal with! if i *do* have to use Ghost, can i at least install it WITHOUT LiveUpdate? purging that was the worst of the nightmare because it flat lied to me... it *does* have a DVD writer and i have less than 9GB of stuff to transfer so in theory - if i can burn a DVD before the friggen drive goes Tango Uniform again - i shoud be okay. can it Ghost to a network drive? i've got 250G free on the fileserver... |
