IS-IT--Management
I have a situation that I'm not quite sure on which way to go.
The owner of our company has an old pc that he uses for all his billing, accounting, etc. He uses some really old software that only works on XP, and he doesnt have the discs for anymore. He needs a new PC and hard drive, but doesnt want to lose any of his info.
I've thought about cloning the IDE drive to a SATA drive, but I know they'll be some issues with the hardware on the new system and the drivers on the image.
What are my other options here?
He's very picky, and just wants "everything transfered over just the way it is on a new PC." and im supposed to make it happen.
Anything like ghost or trueimage help with the driver issues? Never used either for a situation like this, so not sure how they handle it.
thanks guys!
