Mods this aint illegal stuff, read on lol

My pc i nicked off the olds and have just bought a new pc base unit.....

Now can i copy programs like office over???? was thinking of taking hd out of mine and slaving it on new one then copy from 1 to the other, can this be done??? Thing is i never nicked all software stuff lol and cant be arsed to drive over to get it but can obviously get the code over the phone.

Would just swap hd but olds want this back with some stuff still on that they loaded before i stole it.

 

Dont think u can install without the installation files.

 

When programs install, entries are made in the Windows registry.
These are vital to the operation of the program and cannot easily be copied to Windows on another disk.

 

There is a download called XXCopy.
It is a small program that copies EVERYTHING off of one hard drive to another, and makes it bootable as system disk.
It is quite simple to use, with the final step being a longish DOS command.
It isn't a bad idea to clean all the crap you don't want off the old disk first
The other thing to note: print all of the instructions off first, and read them thoroughly. The reason for printing, is that you won't be able to read them on the computer while you are carrying out the clone.
Also, pay real attention to the DOS command string that you have to enter. There are spaces involved in that string and they are important!
