Windows XP Issues after Hard Drive Upgrade
Good Afternoon,
My name is Oscar and I recently did a hard drive upgrade. I went from a 80 GB Seagate Hard Drive to a 1 TB Western Digital SATA Hard Drive. I used the Western Digital utilities to successfully transfer existing data from old hard drive to the new one. Transfer of data was successul without any issues or corrupt data. I was able to log in to Windows XP on the New Hard Drive without any issues. This is where i noticed that many of my icons were there on the desktop but when i clicked on the icons the program has difficulty opening properly. Most of my applications effected are Adobe and Microsoft Office Applications. All other applications run smoothly without any problems. I attempted to reinstall my Adobe CS4 Master Collection and was able to reinstall programs and use them. Now I have Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise Edition which I have the original CD/DVD and attempted to reinstall the program. It read's the CD but won't let me reinstall the software. I thought it was my CD Drive but I tested other CD's and get the same issue. If I attempt to run the CD installation the CD takes a while to load and then nothing just freezes my desktop. I attempt to download the Enterprise Edition from the Microsoft Website installation screen pops up and immediately closes and I get the pop up to send the Error report. I have looked online to see if there have been any issues related to something like this, noticed one thread but no solution. I will attempt to run SFC /SCANNOW and see if it is something with the registry or installation files, i have a feeling it could be corrupted installation files. Windows is up to date no new updates. Reinstalled Service Pack 3. Both Drives in my desktop are are the same before the upgrade: Local Disk (C) and Local Disk (D) so the letters did not change. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I hope I can find a solution otherwise I will have no choice but to reformat and start from scratch. Thanks again! Desktop Information: DELL OptiPlex 170L Pentium 4 Processor 2.88 GHZ 2 GB RAM Hard Drive 1.5 TB Local Disk (C) Hard Drive 80 GB Local Disk (D) Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 Oscar N.
