    How to update Windows shortcuts when copying to another drive


    Hi,I have a few hard drives with tons of data, some of which are shortcuts to files on other drives and folders. I'm consolidating these drives into a single larger drive. How can I easily update the shortcuts so they all point to the correct new file locations?

    :)

    Replacing old hard drive, need way to copy Windows installation across

    Hey Guys,
    What would be the best way of copying/imaging the entire contents of an old system drive over to a replacement hard disk for the same machine? I need to copy the Windows installations and all other data to the new drive, and then format the old drive to use as a backup.

    Any suggestions? *Smile How to update Windows shortcuts when copying to another drive :)
