I have the good hard drive from an otherwise dead Vista laptop ( I'm looking at you, HP Pavilion DV6700!) connected to the USB port of a good windows 7 system.
To clarify, the drive from the old system is correctly mounted and readable from the new system with no problems via one of those cheap and effective adapters.
I want to give this user the w7 laptop with his files on there. Is there a good way to do this with a tool without having to figure out how to boot up that old Vista hard drive.
Windows Easy Transfer doesn't seem to have this use case of old computer's drive mounted in new computer. Is there another suitable tool? Or is manually copying them the best way?
