Restoring files after installing new hard disk.
After 3 years, my windows software isn't working well and my original restore
files have been deleted. Also, prior to reinstalling windows, I am intending to purchase a new hard disk to replace the one that contains my Windows XP files and my restore partition. My question is: If I replace the hard disk with a different model can I still use the original windows restore files (being sent to me by the computer mfg.) to get windows up and operating, or do I have to purchase a new Windows XP disk and start from scratch?? -- BBJoe

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THIS QUESTION
Please read "restore" as "recovery" in the original question. What I am
looking to do is to "recover", not "restore" my original system files after installing a new hard disk. The PC manufacturer is sending me the recovery disks for the original computer. -- BBJoe "BBJ" wrote: > After 3 years, my windows software isn't working well and my original restore > files have been deleted.
