hard drive replacement

[jbehlke]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

I'd like to replace the internal hard drive on my macbook pro 2.2 ghz. If I clone my old drive to the replacement drive (including my Office 2004), will my Office 2004 work on the replacement drive or would I need to uninstall Office from the old drive, and then install from the original Office 2004 CD on the replacement drive?

Thanks.

If you create a real clone it will. CCC or SuperDuper! Are two that will do
what you want. I believe SuperDuper's free option does clones.

Ummmmm.....

I believe SuperDuper's free option does clones

*Bootable* clones? I can't remember for sure but I didn't think so. I'll
definitely defer to your knowledge on SuperDuper! - you're far more familiar
with it than I, but I thought that was one of the main reasons I coughed up
the asking price

It's Schedules that's not included in the free version. Hard to remember
since I purchased so many years ago.

Yeah - I believe you're right - it was schedules & Sandbox that weren't
available in the freebie
