Copying the hard drive?
Thinking of getting a new P.C. and was wondering is there an easy way of copying the contents of the hard drive on the old to the new so i don't have to install every thing from scratch?
cheers manners.

IMHO I would do a fresh install and then just copy photos etc over. The OS usually gets in a right old mess when you make MB changes and althought it will eventually work you will not get the same performance as a fresh install.

Backup and restore on the same PC I use Ghost. However I don't think it will work if you are changing core stuff like mother board, processor, graphics card & sound card. Much easier to perform a new install, patch everything upto date and copy your old data across.
You could always fit your old drive as a slave and just copy stuff across.
