    Norton ghost will transfer installed programs and the os but both computers must have the same HAL

    Are you simply looking to change the hard drive within a computer or move the hard drive to a new computer?


    If it's the former than clonezilla will do the job for you and it's free.

    If it's the 2nd option then you'll need to do a bit of messing around with HAL etc.
