Fine, if you could do that, I'd appreciate it. Naturally, I have no
interest in your product key.

I can copy and paste the file into an E-mail, but Obviously, I'll take out
my product key.

>> Hi Ray,
>> Very tough question! Not knowing your exact installation plan, I will
>> provide here some installations tips anyway, and just in case. I have
>> installed XP Home or Pro many times on old or fresh hard drives, and it's
>> really unpredictable. Anything can happen during the installation. Even
>> voice tools such as hardware synthesizers might not always help deal with
>> unexpected situations. I'm glad to see that you're trying to do things by
>> yourself. That's what I keep telling my trainees. There's almost no
>> frontier
>> when things are really accessible. Unfortunately, in this situation, we
>> really need some sighted help because XP installation is not that easy,
>> even
>> for sighted professionals. By the way, what is the purpose of your
>> installation? More space using a new hard drive, or replacing a damaged
>> or
>> corrupted one? If I'm facing either situation, I would do the following
>> with
>> a sighted friend:
>> Intro: Have all my CDs and diskettes ready, including serial numbers
>> and/or
>> product keys. Run anti-virus, disk cleanup, etc, on old drive. Move my
>> old
>> drive Jaws authorization back to its diskette.
>> Option 1: Use ghost (not that expensive!) to clone my current hard drive,
>> and put the disk image on CDs. Turn off the computer, install the new
>> hard
>> drive as master, remove power and disk cable from old one, boot with
>> Ghost
>> diskette an copy CD image(s) to new hard drive. When done, remove Boot
>> diskette, restart the computer, have a good cup of coffee and keep
>> fingers
>> crossed. If it works, I would re-install my old hard drive as slave, if
>> it's
>> worth it.
>> Option 2: find a spot for my new drive in the chassis, set its jumper to
>> slave, start the computer with Ghost diskette, copy from old hard drive
>> to
>> new hard drive. After copying, remove old hard drive or set it as slave,
>> set
>> the new one as master, and start the computer. You will need to
>> re-install
>> Jaws for either option, and maybe do the same for other programs. The
>> whole
>> process may take 25 to 45 minutes, if done properly.
