Upgrading my computer: How to move Clie install?

[jasguild]

Hi I am upgrading my computer with a bigger hard drive. As such I will need to reinstall all my programs again including my clie programs.

What is the easiest way to migrate over without creating duplicate entries or problems?

Thanks

Just reinstall...

Your clie will copy all your data back to your harddrive.

will there not be an id issue though?? How will it know that I already have a palm and palm username and that I dont want a new one?

Don't create a profile in the palm desktop... just install software

then sync.

It will ask for your password (clie password).

Then will create profile (with same name) and sync.

That's it.

I don't think this process will install conduits for 3rd party programs like Pocket Quicken, Documents to Go, etc..

Does anyone have any suggestion on easily moving many conduits without actually running all the installation programs again?

You should reinstall those... That's the only way.. especially under windows.

Considering I am just moving my installation and files from one harddrive to another in the same computer, cant I just copy existing files and overwrite the empty files in the new installation?

You will create a big mess if you don't reinstall the software. Missing files, possible crashes, errors, and other garbage you don't want.

Figuring out how to do it without reinstalling will take you more time than just reinstalling.

And will save the headache.

Trust me. I like many, have tried shortcuts... NOT worth it.

Thanks very much
