XP-Professional new installation with old set-up (ASR backup)

G

Guest

I bought a new HD with a larger capacity and would like to install
XP-professional in the C: drive. I am backing up my old XP-Professional (full
back-up with ASR floppy) in the D: drive.

1. Is it possible to re-install my old OS in the new hard disc C: drive with
the above mentioned set-up?

2. Will the automatic backup wizard copies my Program folder as well or
should I copy all the program that In I installed separetly and place them in
the newly created Windows folder in the new HD?

3. Is the procedure for such a re-installation is the same for recovery
restoration after a crash? How does it work?

See "How to Move a Windows XP Installation to Different Hardware"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314070).
I recommend using a professional imaging tool like Norton Ghost for
this.
