New HD - New XP Install - Loading personal settings takes forever

**Anilrgowda** · 08-Mar-2007, 09:46 PM

I was asked to look at a computer because a friend of mine had bought a new hard drive and wanted to move their windows disk to the new hard drive, so they used norton ghost and copied the blank one over the old one - resulting in two empty drives.

Scared of doing something similar they gave the pc for me to reinstall XP on their new hard drive - sounds simple enough.
