That is called ghosting
While it's easy transferring to a new hard drive in the same computer, using a different computer will likely cause problems

Having grandkids is God's way of giving you a 2nd chance because you were too busy working your butt off the 1st time around
Do not send me PMs with problems that should be posted in the forums. Keep it in the forums, so everyone benefits

I used an application thats not free but very very easy to use called PCmover. I bought the retail version which included the USB cable to connect one machine to the other.
The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.

In my case it worked flawlessly. Not saying there isn't risk, but any move comes with inherent risk. I consider myself fortunate. Therefore I feel comfortable making the recommendation.
