Moving old HDD into new System
Hi, I just buit a new system (new MoBo, cpu, memory), and i have a 200 gig
HDD on XP Pro. My problem is, I don't want to or have time to backup all my data to do a clean install and transfer my data over my new drive. So, I know the best way to do this would be to re-format and do a clean install, but is there a relatively painless way to take my current hard drive, and put it in my new system with new hardware? |
