XP PRO SP2 dual boot, not!!
I wonder if you could point me in the right direction or solution:-my
desktop pc with XP Pro SP2 crashed over the weekend. Just keeps restarting after it shows boot options. Tried restore and other options but comes with error message or just hangs. I have now installed a new copy on same partition and all works great, can acces/view my previous files. I can view from new install BUT is it possible to move all my previous applications and documents *.exe, *.dll, ect to the new XP PRO SP2 folder, thereby restoring old install?? Any advise would be helpful, de OMM.
