My PC, running XP, had a hard drive crash last week. There was a bad block
in the operating system, but the rest of the data appears OK.
I had a new hard drive installed as the boot up drive. The computer now
boots to the new drive, “C:\†, and the old drive is now drive E:\.
When I try to run Microsoft Office on E:\ from the desktop (on c:\) it tells
me the application is not set up properly to be run from the operating system.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to have the XP operating system boot from C: but then
operate as if E: is the home drive and run all applications from the E:
drive? (How about the E: desktop?)
2. Can I copy the old Operating System files, MS Office, and Outlook files
from E: to C: to run the applications? Which files?
in the operating system, but the rest of the data appears OK.
