Re: Transfer data from 'failed' hard drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Unfortunately the True Image was downloaded from Acronis and activated
by a code sent to me. I still have the downloaded program but I
will have to search for the code.

Could I use the System Restore on my new drive to restore the Disk
Boot Sector on my old drive so I could reactivate my original XP's
programs. Then I could use True Image to move data to the new drive ??
Sounds weird I know.

Thanks for the inputs. I'll start again tomorrow.
