(jason) ok i got it. I was trying to copy only windows as to miss the 
Hewlett Packark programs, which left me with no program files, so i 
figured i'd try cloneing the whole HD (from a Hewlett Packard win 
98se 533mhz pent3 40gig to Armstrong Microsystems win95 166mhz? 2gig 
1997) to my amazement it worked , it took about 5 to 10 min. "found 
new hardware" "installing" bla bla. I then removed what HP programs 
i could and what ever else i didnt need. keeped directcd and dvd 
programs for later. may run a regcleaner later .

If I could only now figure ot how to put MS office etc.. from cd to 
floopys.
