When i came to own this pc it had windows xp professional on it. I put my old hard drive from my other pc into this one as it has more space. I have only had xp home edition on that one and never really put anything on that drive.
ive just installed a new router and ive found that on the xp pro edition i cant get a connection to the net for some reason. my little tv icons appear on start up then just dissapear.
anyway, on my home edition of xp my internet connection is ok, so im starting to use that.
now i have loads of things that im going to transfer to my bigger drive and wipe pro off and reinstall home edition to that drive too.
My question is how do i transfer software from one drive to another so i can use it.

You can't transfer software as such, you'll have to re-install it on the new drive.
Chances are that your router isn't set-up on the XP Pro driveIt's taken me years of experience to get this cynical0 -
In actual fact windows xp pro has more networking facilities than home edition so im not sure why it dont work, Is it using a wired or wireless connection.
"my little tv icons appear on start up then just dissapear" Where? what are they?
And i think its illegal to transfer software from one hard drive to another as it will probably only be 1 licence.0 -
when i start up my pc, in home edition the braodband just come on. but in pro i see 2 little tv screens and an orange little dot that seems to flash, then the tvs just go off and ive got no connection.
ive installed the D-link talktalk software the same on both drives but only home edition works.

I concur with Reggie; it often demands a fresh install; even (some) imaging software cannot cope with full-blown software transfers.0 -

There is nothing to set up for a router.
No 'D-link talktalk software' needs to be installed for Ethernet to work.
Check that your Ethernet port (LAN card) is enabled in Control Panel, Network connections.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0
