Okay folks, I'm in a hellacious jam here and I'm looking for assistance.
This past weekend the motherboard on my PC decided to croak, because the motherboard was 4 years old there was no way to get another one, leaving me no choice but to get a new one, along with a new CPU & memory.
I do backups of my entire system, so the data is there, but because the MB & CPU are different now, theres no way to do a full restore from those backups because the O/S expects certain hardware to be there and it isn't anymore (Thank you Windows XP :angry: )
The bottom line is I have the programs, but I need a way to get the data from the backups to be recognized by the programs (The two biggest issues being Outlook 2003 & the mail/calendar files and Firefox 2.0.0.9 and all my passwords)
In short HELP!
