Just finised up building a new system based on Core 2 Duo.Works like a charm,but I can't reinstall Nero and other sound,video editing and other software because I don't have the CD's or saved copies anywhere.Is there an utility or anything that I can use to transfer this stuff?

What you can do is install your old ??hdd as secondary to your new installation and copy over the necessary directories,now be warned,,, some proggies will work and some will not,,,AND,,,, none of then will show up either in your registery or add remove programs..
PS,,, Learn to use norton ghost,it's a lifesaver,I can't remember the last time I did an install of XP,it's been years.I think...:)
