Hi
There should be no problems transferring DATA but if you have a clean install I would NOT transfer programs
Most software needs to be INSTALLED and not just copied
If you had so many problems with the old drive I would re-install all applications from the original source
DATA also I would be cautious with....take ONLY what is absolutely necessary to reduce the risk
If you have a good antivirus installed and up to date the that SHOULD check each file as it is copied (this may depend on the settings in the AV program)
If it doesn't do so, transfer it slowly to an interim folder..manually scan that folder before you place it in the final resting place
In short....WHY RISK PROBLEMS after all of the work....take the MINIMUM across carefully
Good Luck
Baudy!
