I bought a new hard drive, and installed Windows 7 on it. I was previously using Windows XP, and kept all of my old programs on the old hard drive with XP intact.

I am wondering if there is a program or if it is even possible to somehow import a few of my games from my old hard drive to my new one with Windows 7 on it. A few of the games were on my computer for a long time, and after moving I have realized I don't have every CD to reinstall my games on me.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, this cannot be done. Programs will have to be reinstalled.

Some programs "COULD" be copied over and work, but 99% of the time it won't work even if you going for XP to XP.
