I've got an older Win2K IBM craptop with
BESR 6.52 installed
that the HDD just bombed on me,
this system is too old to bother fixing, because it has some other hardware issues also,
Bad Keyboard (some keys get stuck a lot),
Battery is roasted,
CMOS Battery also fried,
BIOS won't support a new HDD, etc.
I have another system that's just idle right now, (I only start it to get the win updates & keep the security updated, etc.)
There are applications on the craptop that I don't have the disks for and still need to use them
I have 2 full images from that machine, (hope at least one is good)
so my request is simple;
> when I do the restore to other hardware what is the best procedure using Restore AnyWare
to avoid wasting hours or even days of retrying
the only similarity between the systems is that they're both in the same processor class just one is slightly faster
everything else is totally different
one major issue is, the craptop never came with any CDs,
will the restore be asking for the OS CD to install / update the drivers for the MB & supported Hardware?
Any help before I start this is Appreciated;
as I don't have a spare HDD for either system I will backup the current installation on the spare system
and remove the current installation and restore the Image from the craptop
so I can get access to the applications & programs etc installed on it.
