Hi,
I have a hard drive that is showing signs of imminent failure. There are several
applications installed on this drive. Is there a way to move the apps to another drive
other than uninstalling and reinstalling on a different drive?

I am using XP PRO SP1.

Thanks,

Warm Regards,
Lou

You may wish to visit the support website of the manufacturer of your
new hard drive and see if they have a free utility program that you can use to
accomplish this task. For example, if you have a new Western Digital drive,
you can download their free Data Lifeguard Tools which includes "drive-to-drive
copy capability" (Ref: http://support.wdc.com/download/).

Or you can purchase Norton Ghost and create an "image"
of your old hard drive:
