bangkokrick Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 You would need the original CD discs to install the software on your new laptop. You cannot copy software programs from one PC to another without having the installation files. My guess is that your mate had the installation package files copied to the memory stick. Do you have the original memory stick that your mate used? Cheers, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallyrd Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Try Norton Ghost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokrick Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Try Norton Ghost. I guess that someone who is 'not good with software' would understand what Norton Ghost is, so here is an explanation. More Info Not so cheap at 40 quid. What type of programs are they. Maybe you could download them ( or similar ) from the Internet, there is a lot of good free stuff on line.

Langsuan Man Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 As others have said without the original installation files you are out of luck Imaging software is your only option now, short of buying all the programs you want to transfer But that being said, Norton Ghost can be downloaded and used as a free trial from here: http://us.norton.com/downloads/trialsoftware/register.jsp?pvid=ghost15 Or you can get a free trial of Acronis True Image here ( I happen to find Acronis easier to use than Norton, but YMMV) http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiu-Jitsu Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Which program is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KozeEzok Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Another way is make virtual image out of old hard disk and use Sun/Oracle virtual box software to run old laptop OS in new hardware. In that way, you have an option to run old OS and programs as well as new OS and new programs. You can enjoy both. virtualbox.org http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
