HI guy's I built my dad a new comp for Christmas and he is over the moon with it but. The problem I have is getting all his old programs  and settings to the new comp.

I need a fool proof way of doing it because my time is limited to a day, because of work.

Any Ideas guy's Smile

Baldie...  With all due respect, do it the old fashioned way of normal installing.  The reason I say this is that the difference between XP and Win7 is huge.  If it was Vista to WIN 7, then ok, but the registry, OS directory paths, etc are different.  Even profile paths are different.  You would spend more time fixing things rather than just installing the correct way.  This is why you see program versions for XP or Vista/Win7.

Yes cheers mate I thought that Cry. Was just hoping for an easy way out lol, I even tried installing the hard drive into the new comp as a dual boot system but the xp would have none of it..
