Hi,
Hoping somebody can provide some guidance.
I have an old PC running XP home. This computer contains a lot of programs and info that can't be reproduced and the HDD is starting to die. I have another machine with a new and similar (IDE) HDD, running XP Pro.
I would like to reproduce the old HDD on the new machine. I want the ability for the new HDD to behave exactly as the old, being the primary, stand-alone internal drive. Is that cloning? Migrating? Mirroring? I have no idea.
Is this possible, and what is the best solution for making that happen. I would assume I need to take the old HDD out of the old machine, install in the new and use a particular software solution installed on the new machine (System Recovery?).
Thanks in advance! I realize there are solutions - I've done some reading before posting - but am not sure the correct way to proceed and don't want to create further problems.
K.
