Hi-
I had a PC running Vista Home Premium that I built about 1.5 years ago. My motherboard recently bit the dust, though. I purchased a new motherboard from Newegg, and was given a Core 2 Duo E6700 from a friend. I popped everything in, and Vista will just reboot in an infinite cycle. I need my programs and files- I run a business making websites and doing video work- I would be lost without all of my "stuff". I am currently booting the machine onto XP using an old 40GB Hard Drive. I can read the files, but again, I need the programs to come over. I am open to anything. I think using Virtual Machine 2007 might work, but I am unsure. I have the following at my disposal (The original board for my PC is dead and cannot be used)
*40 GB Hard Drives (I have one in with XP Pro, but I do have a couple more.
*An External USB Hard Drive (120 GB)
*The Original 750 GB Hard Drive in the computer before it died
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
