Replacing HDD and scanner can not be installed
Dear Sirs
I have HP ScanJet 3400C, it has no driver for Windows7, I could get it working by the use of “Troubleshoot compatibility” in Windows7.
Now I purchase a new HDD and reinstall Windows7 ultimate (the same version) and updated Windows.
Before removing my old HDD I ran “Windows easy transfer”
After that, I run “Windows easy transfer” from my new HDD
Then I tried to install my HP ScanJet 3400C driver using the same way of “Troubleshoot compatibility”. However it did not work. When I select “Try recommended settings”, I have to Start the program, but it ends up with nothing, I mean the program does not run and the dialogue ends up by “Incompatible application” detected.
I also set properties of (setup.exe) to Windows XP SP2 and SP3, but the program does not run.
Then I tried Windows XP mode” and I could install HP program but it seems I have another problem in XP Mode.
I have my old HDD intact, so I disconnected new HDD and reinstall old HDD to test the scanner and found it working good.
So please advise if there is a way to collect the needed files from old HDD to be installed on new HDD so my scanner would work again?
Many thanks in advance
Best regards
