replace a hard drive
5 Answers
if i replace an old hard drive witha new one and put the backed up files from the old one onto the new one would the buried files on the old hard drive be copied to the new hard drive or is it better to put the stuff fom a disc i received with the pc as my hard drive is playing up and thinking of replacing it before it finally gives up

as the previous reply said - you can only copy " information" saved, not programs. They have to be re-installed with the original discs. I have just been through this problem. I had to find all my old discs to do this, but now I am back to normal. It was quite a lengthy job.
