Randy,
I agree, this is a tough one. It depends if the program is DOS or
Windows based. Most DOS programs have all the necessary files to make
the program run properly installed in the same directory (and
subdirectories). Windows programs have files installed in the install
directory c:\program files and in c:\windows\system and/or
c:\windows\system32 directories. Your best bet is to search the internet
for those programs in question and try to determine what files are
required and where there supposed to exist to make the program work,
then there's the registry thing. What programs are you trying to
transfer, maybe I can help.

That's a tough one. It depends alot on who wrote the software.
For intance, microsoft has to be installed via it's original disk to
get the registry to accept it and all it components. I doubt if you
could successfully transfer MS office in it's installed form and expect
it to work. However, you can make copies of the original install disks
which work fine.
If all else fails, install the corrupt drive on the new computer as a
slave, and run it like that. Try dragging and dopping it onto the new
drive, then see if it will fly when you open it. I dunno, but it's worth
a shot.
