Restoring Data after Hard Drive Crash
I have a laptop running Windows 7 Professional that suffered a partial hard drive failure. I can't image the hard drive, but using a Ubuntu Live CD I was able to extract the USER folder off the hard drive. I am replacing the hard drive today, and will reinstall Windows 7 from the original media.
Once I reinstall Windows 7 from my DVD and set the same user account back up is there a way I can import the data from my old USER folder that I was able to save from the damaged drive directly into the new one? I'd really like to keep all the settings, etc I had established previously without having to set it all back up again.
