Ref- <Whats wrong with a whole new disk exactly like the old one, isn't that what you want, you have windows and the new registry on the new system already. Otherwise: Don't copy the registry, just copy the files, partition the new disk if you want to make it more complicated than you have to, and reload the Dlls like you want, the new registry will ask you if you want to do thin. Easier than copying the whole thing one floppy disk at a time.. And I don't mean this sarcastically, but do you work mainly with unix? > Laplink is definitely better than copying by a floppy, or by reinstalling all the software. I have not used it myself, but have other people do it for me. [ The Laplink for diskCopy used to be a DOS program, and I abhor DOS.] I have had problems when we changed the hardware configuration, and the entries in the registery got muddled, and had to be corrected. Unfortunately Laplink copied some viruses also ! The next time, I'll try to do Laplink copy myself, and see how it goes. No I dont use Unix. Much as we like to bash Microsoft, Unix is worse, and a lot more difficult to learn and use.
