Computer replacement, but retain settings?
I am looking for advice, here is my problem:
I have 2 computers both linked to an external hard drive (120gb) through a router. I want to replace one of the computers, but I have the computer set up just how I like it and I don’t want to lose the settings.
I am using XPsp2 that was upgraded from 98se (hence still FAT32) on the one I want to replace and XPsp2 (clean installation) on the other. I want to install XP professional on the one I want to replace, but still maintain all my settings. Can it be done? I am not as computer literate as I would like to be, but can undertake some work. Can I mirror (or clone, I am not sure of the correct terminology) the outgoing drive (only 25gb) and then place the contents onto the new drive once XP professional is installed and maintain all my settings? I feel sure that this problem has been encountered before so would appreciate all advice.
