schoondoggy Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I would try to unzip them and place them here; http://www.msigeek.com/322/driver-store-in-windows-7-and-vista Hopefully Win 7 will find them when you boot up the new machine. You could try invoking SafeMode at boot on the new machine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonP Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 On a random note. I tried running SYSPREP and I got to the Windows Logo and the system crashed. What would cause that and can I find out why? Will look into seeing If I can pull the drivers out of the .exe if I can find the right ones and correct way to place them.

ikon Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Somebody's got to say it: why not just use a fresh install? It would be cleaner and probably safer in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Win 7 I am trying to clone has so much setup it would take weeks to reconfigure ;/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Even using Windows Easy Transfer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonP Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Even using Windows Easy Transfer? Never used it before. Just so used to Windows apps being hit and miss from the early days. But might be worth a shot doing a fresh install and then a copy assuming it does applications ect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But might be worth a shot doing a fresh install and then a copy assuming it does applications ect... It doesn't transfer installed apps over, but it does give a list of apps that were installed on the original system. I've actually found it handy for trimming an install back down -- i.e. getting rid of stuff I don't really need anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoondoggy Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 If you do decide to rebuild, run Belarc Advisor on your old system. In addition to an inventory of software, Belarc will give you license keys; http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) ^^ What he said. Also, would NLite be a good option here? EDIT: never mind: just realized NLite has been released for Win7, 8, etc. Now what was the name of that other app that keeps track of your installed apps and can automatically re-install them?
