Hi....

I have just received a new drive for my 701c and am trying to mirgrate a
win95 install to the new drive and have not had a lot of luck.

I don't want to do a fresh install since the install on the old drive
works great.

Things I've tried;

1. did a microsoft backup of the old drive, stored it on another machine,
   did a fresh install on a "d" partion to enable me to restore the
   backup on "c", deleted the install on "d". nada....

2. did above again but this time xcopied (using /s/e/f/h/r/k switches) a
   prior xcopied (same switches) tree that I had stored on another
  system (via networking).

3. some other slight varations on the above.

What I hve access to to try to complete this;

1. The old drive and it's file system.
2. A microsoft backup of the old drive.
3. A full copy of the complete drive stored on another system copied using
   xcopy run under win95 dos box (xcopy32) with the above switches.

Thanks for any input.
