i have a problem and i hope i can get some insight to make it easier.
i've built a new rig. I have all of my programs and files and old OS on one HDD that was on my old PC.
I could not get the OS on that HDD to boot It said it needed to be FDiskd
so i got a new HDD installed the same OS as last time(win764ult)
My goal is to be able to access and use all of my old programs without reinstalling them on my new drive.
what can i do.
btw thanks for all the help i thought i'd post because this site helped a lot with some of the other problems i had along the way.
