    HD Transfer


    I am preparing to move my HD with Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit installed. I have a lot of program installed so I really don't want to have to backup and reinstall everything. Is there something I should do on the old machine before I shut down and move the HD to the new machine?

    Edit...

    I got it to run....had to delete HKLM\SYSTEM\SETUP\UPGRADE
