Howdy all, having some issues with a couple PCs that I need help with.
I have 4 PCs, 2 of them are going bad and need all their contents (programs, documents, everything) transferred to 2 new PCs. One of the PCs has Windows 7, the other Windows XP. The new PCs have no OS on them, have cleared HDDs, and different specs and such.
My first thought was to make a system image on the Windows 7 PC, and restore it on one of the news ones using a repair disc. So I tried that, and everything seemed to go fine until it reboot. The new PC got stuck in a bootloop, it would get to the "Starting Windows..." screen and then freeze and restart. So then I tried using Clonezilla to make an image and restore it to the new HDD, same problem. Any thoughts on this one?
I have yet to touch the Windows XP PC, as I'm not sure what to do to this one. Is there any advice on what to do here? Ideally I'd like a complete system image, however seeing how the Windows 7 PC had issues that doesn't seem like the best option. Is there any other way to transfer everything?
