Hello,

I am about to have a new computer built and would like to start fresh, moving from XP to Windows 7. I am missing a few CDs of programs I would like to install on the new drive. Is there a way to find all the program components (as Widows could when deleting a program) and copy them to the new drive? There MUST me a program out there that can perform such a function.

Thanks for your tim,

Jeff
 
No. To reinstall your programs you will need the install disks. You have the consolation that if the programs are old enough for you to have mislaid the CDs then they are probably available now for a fraction of their original cost.
