Is there an easy to MOVE a software from a hard disk to another without having to reinstall that software ?

I don't think there's a way to do that. Most programs that are installed in your hard drive also install other settings into your registry and contains other files (dll, inf, others) in your system folder. Don't bother trying to copy this to the other hd. Might as well install it again. Hope that helps. Kevin.

Powerquest's Drive Copy v4 will do it... We use it to upgrade computers...slave the old HD into the new computer, run Drive Copy and it copies ALL OS, programs, data etc onto the new HD... http://www.powerquest.com/drivecopy/ Good Luck Steve

GHOST, a product from Symantec will also work. I've used both. We had an older copy from PowerQuest so I do like Ghost better. Many because I'm more familar with it and the other version from PowerQuest would not allow us to do some features that the newer version from PowerQuest may allow. What you are looking for is any software that does imaging.

How technically inclined are you? If you are, and your system is Win 9X here is a way. If you are just copying your entire hard drive to a new one , this is a how to do it. First, make a startup disk by double clicking on My Computer, Add/Remove Programs, hit the Startup Disk tab, click Create Disk and follow directions. You then have to set the jumpers on your new drive up to be a slave. It has to be partitioned and formatted. Transfer your system to the new drive, go to a DOS window and type: sys d: Close the DOS window and double click on My Computer. Double click on Control Panel, double click on System, click on the Performance tab, then the Virtual Memory button. Click on "Let me specify my own virtual memory settings.", disable virtual memory. Restart Windows and click Start, Run and type: xcopy c:\*.* /e /h /k /r /c d: and click OK. This should copy your old drive to the new one. Don't shut off your computer while this is copying. Once finished, shut down, change the jumpers on the new drive back to master, unhook the old drive and hook up the new one, put the startup disk in the A drive and start your computer. Go to BIOS and set your HD settings. Run Fdisk from A drive and set your partition as the active partition. You should be able to restart the computer in Windows and have everything you had on the old drive. Make sure you go back into Performance and set your Virtual Memory back to "Let Windows manage my virtual memory settings." I got this method from the Western Digital website several years ago, it was for Win 95, but I've used it several times on 98. It's always worked for me. You may want to check their website yourself. Hope this helps

If the destination drive is on the same PC as the origin hard drive then COA2(Change of Address) can assist you to do it and for free. Bryan

if you do the xcopy thing - use xcopy32 instead
