[pchelpers] Better approach to OS transfer needed

In recent times there have been more requests involving transfer of old 
operating systems along with installed programs to new media, such as 
when hard drives begin to wear out and need replacing.

The oft used approach is to direct copy the files and re-install the 
operating system followed by the applications (long and tedious).

The subject of making an image of it has cropped up, but I'm unsure 
about this. Got some good suggestions?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
