Have new hard drive, how do i copy software from one partition to another ??

Try the files and settings transfer wizard [Start>Programs>Accesories>System Tools>Files and Settings Transfer Wizard] or Make a bakup and set it to shadow copy then save it to your new HDD [Start>Programs>Accesories>System Tools>Back Up] Do these only if you want to transfer all your data to your new slick hard disk. This Options only works for XP. =) IF you want to transfer selected files, just cut paste them from your old drive to your new drive. But you can't do this for files in your PROGRAM FILES folder. If you want some programs from this folder to work after transfering it to your new drive, you have to tweak some files and your registry if needed. Instead of gambling your system, just use your new disk to stuff in new data and leave the old one as is.

You can use copy and paste or cut and paste options to transfer files from one drive to another...! I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems. Some RAM/ hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful
