ghost reinstall

[Delphin]

what requirements would be needed to enable a ghosted image off of my laptop to be placed onto my new laptop keeping everything in tact? I own the windows XP license for this machine, but do not want to tranfer and install 30 gig of data/programs again. Can this work if I ghost the drive and try to reinstall on the new hard drive on the new computer?

If the two computers have the same (or almost the same) hardware it might work. You should backup your data anyway and then you will have it to restore3 when all heck breaks loose.

almost the same? it is a different motherboard, and other parts, which would easily make the 30 changes limit. Chances are slim, but if you have an extra ghost copy, try.
