Transferring *everything* on C to another computer, Part 3

For those not following previous parts, briefly, I tried ghosting all of C: from computer #1 to #2 (identical hardware in every respect), then I followed the procedures to activate #2 with my second license. However, the ghost was not recognized as a copy at all. It was already activated.

This Part 3 describes some strange results from the above procedure. But let me say, I think I'm going to end up starting installation from scratch. I want the experience at least once of loading XP Pro, and I'm not happy with these anomalies.

After ghosting from #1 to #2, the target computer (#2) was:

  • Already activated (product numbers matched)
  • KB #321636 procedure did not deactivate it
  • Office XP Pro also remained activated
  • Eudora (paid mode, V5.2) was unable to leave messages on the server (may or may not be related)
