Transfer Win98 from PC to notebook

by niagara1234 . Updated 19 years, 10 months ago

How to transfer Windows 98 to another computer (notebook) with different hardware keeping settings in Registry and all software + utils + configurations installed?

I have an older notebook IBM ThinkPad 600X (Pentium III/Coppermine/500 MHz, Chipset 440BX, with Docking Station).

I need to transfer Windows 98 Rel.1 from my desktop PC DELL OptiPlex (Pentium I/90 MHz, Chipset Intel S82434NX) to this notebook with everything kept installed and configured. I really have hundreds working programs there. I already have been trying it for about 14 days, but no results yet. I tried everything simple: pcrestor.bat, HDD-cloning,… It gets frozen before hardware detection after msmouse.vxd. Clean new Win 98 installation works fine. I have dokumentation, drivers,…

Does anybody know:
*How to restart/rerun/redo/redetect hardware?
*Are there any utils for such transfer? (Ghost,…?)

Don’t send me simple answers like: RTFM, bootlog.txt,… I know this.
