After building a custom computer for my mother and installing her old HD into the new machine as a Slave drive; she is now unable to access programs from her old HDs' G drive. Is there any way to make the new HD (C) LOOK at the G drive for program information?

Would only the CORE program need to be installed, and she can access her files, such as her iTunes Music and Sebalius files? If she installs the programs again to her new HD can he get all her data?

No, she will need to completely reinstall the programs. The new OS will not look in the old registry for program information.

Yes, she will be able to access her old data.
