in any case, make the new hd your primary one (primary master), and the |
| 9 |
old one secondary (primary slave or secondary master). The boot to your |
| 10 |
new hd, mount your old hd, and copy! |

However, if you _don't_ reinstall from CD, you may miss some essential |
| 19 |
registry settings and other stuff that windows puts all over the place. |

I'd recommend reinstalling from CD, then copying your old contents over |
| 21 |
the newly installed one. |

Lastly, what does the program do? My wife is a Dental Assistant, and |
| 24 |
I've been trying to convince her boss to switch to a computer based |
| 25 |
appointment and record system, but he doesn't want to spend any money... |
