I would not suggest you even try to copy file and system settings from a
known defective instance of the operating system. You are only asking for
problems.
The same goes for using Drive Image 2002. Why copy a defective system?
Install the O/S clean on the new drive, get all the current Windows updates,
install any programs you want and be done with it.
