    start / programs / accessories / system tools / files and
    settings transfer wizard should do the trick. Or backup
    data / registry and restore after.

    >Here is the situation: I have 1+yr old HP laptop vt6200
    with XP Pro. I ran into a sticky issue when I installed
    ADS Tech Instant DVD 2.0 software to convert my old video
    cassettes into digital format. I simply installed the
    software and that included DirectX. My laptop before this
    was quite stable fully loaded work/office PC.

    >Symtom: The Windows XP boots with the logo in the middle
    and seem to boot XP, but hangs with blank screen probably
    before showing the desktop screen as I see the LCD screen
    illuminated but blank. It sits there forever!

    >Here is what I tried;
    >I tried to use all safe modes, but the same symptom,
    except I see all the safe drivers being used and listed
    on the display.
    >I tried to use the "Last known good.." but the symptom
    there is the sam as when I choose to boot normally.
    >I used the recovery CD that came with the Hp laptop.
    unfortunately, it does not give me repar option but to
    reinstall XP pro to factory settings. i talked to HP
    support, but did not get any satisfactory response. :(

    >- Is there any way to copy the data from the hard disk
    to another computer by a bootable lite XP that can let me
    do that. Like recovery XP bootable CD that I can possibly
    create?
