OT - Best software utility to use to migrate to a new PC?   Message List

Re: [RoboScope] OT - Best software utility to use to migrate to a new PC?

One program I've bought but haven't tried yet is called "Transfer your PC"
which is supposed to allow you to move to another machine but retain your
programs and settings. The advertisement for it sounds like it should do
what I want, but again, I haven't actually tried it.

<Anyone know of such a program migration tool?

Of course it needs to migrate data too!>

For drive-cloning style drive upgrades, I have used Apricorn EZ-GIG II with great success and it is DIRT cheap and comes with an external USB 2.0 EIDE/SATA...

Chris, Rob's comments on drivers is right on. Your Averetec is AMD based and I assume the NVIDIA GO 6100 chipset. To make life go faster you can attach the...

Bad luck, Chris - or was it monitoring these messages?! You could try using a heat-gun on the PCB side of the video chip, just in case it's a dry joint....

Actually, if you clone the drive and then try to start up off of the standard Windows Installation CD you have a huge potential to run into conflicts......

Hi Warp, I meant slipstream the XP Service Packs into the original XP installation CD, thus producing a 'standard' XP installation CD, but which already...
