Howabout simply hooking up the old hard drive as the primary drive for the new machine, and then using the new hard drive as additional storage?<br />
<br />
If that cannot be done, you could try hooking up the old drive to the new 'puter and copying everything. That SHOULD work.<br />
<br />
If you don't know how to do either of these, I (or anybody else who knows) can tell you.<br />

I'll be getting a new machine soon. &nbsp;What is the fastest and/or easiest way to copy everything from my old machine to my new machine w/o having to reinstall my apps. &nbsp;The new machine has all different drivers for the HD, CD, video... &nbsp;I've tried making an image of the drive and bringing it in to the new machine, but it won't boot. &nbsp;There's got to be a better way than installing Win98 first and reinstalling all my apps and data. &nbsp;Thanks in advance.
