New Mother Board and SATA Drive Copying settings from old drive to

[okmatthew]

Hi,
I needed to upgrade my system so I backed up my 1st system using Norton
Ghost to a third drive then swapped out my Mother Board (Intel DG45ID WITH AN
iNTEL 2 duo PROCESSOR). I got it without knowing that I was not going to get
IDE slots on my new board so by the time I got the new Mother Board I
discovered I had to buy SATA DVD and HD drives.

When I installed Windows XP again and then the back up I started having
multiple problems so I decided to start over from scratch. Now everything on
the new system is working OK but I still need to copy the settings and
programs from the backup without screwing up the Windows setup again.

Now I know It would have been smarter to use Windows File Transfer, but I
didn't know what I was doing; so now I've got a new working system, with all
my older files and settings on the original drive running off the IDE card as
well as in a Ghost backup.

So Can someone please tell me what I should do to get my new system running
correctly with my old settings, programs, menus etc.

Please email to (e-mail address removed)

Merry Christmas!

Thanks with a Happy New Year!

Hi,

Hi. I and the many other experts here will be glad to help you with your
C++ programming question.

I needed to upgrade my system so I backed up my 1st system using Norton
Ghost to a third drive then swapped out my Mother Board (Intel DG45ID WITH
AN
iNTEL 2 duo PROCESSOR). I got it without knowing that I was not going to
get
IDE slots on my new board so by the time I got the new Mother Board I
discovered I had to buy SATA DVD and HD drives.

When I installed Windows XP again and then the back up I started having
multiple problems so I decided to start over from scratch. Now everything
on
the new system is working OK but I still need to copy the settings and
programs from the backup without screwing up the Windows setup again.

Now I know It would have been smarter to use Windows File Transfer, but I
didn't know what I was doing; so now I've got a new working system, with
all
my older files and settings on the original drive running off the IDE card
as
well as in a Ghost backup.

So Can someone please tell me what I should do to get my new system
running
correctly with my old settings, programs, menus etc.

I didn't see any C++ question. Did I miss it?

Interesting e-mail address, but it's not nice to spam newsgroups using the
name of my Savior (at least one of several renderings into English).
Anyway, because you posted your e-mail in a publicly visible newsgroup you
will now be the recipient of spam as well, which I have absolutely no
control over.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you too.
