Hi all,
I'm new to the board & I'm hoping someone can help me.
Questions...
First...
I'm running Win 2000 Prof.
When I install the new MB, do I have to erase the HD & reinstall Win or can I just reinstall it on top of what's already there b/c of the new MB?
I was told I have to reinstall windows if I'm on 2000 & someone else told me I don't.
Second question...
I also got a new HD & I want to transfer the info onto the new HD.
Some people say use a utility program (any really good free ones around?) & others say to ghost it would take way too long, just transfer the Programs & leave the data on the already existing HD.
I really didn't want 4 different names. I just wanted C & D.
Any advice from experts? It would be much appreciated.
Please contact me asap as I might have to do this tomorrow.
Thanks so much & I hope everyone is having a great wknd. & Mother's Day !
Michelle
