Thats a Neg.
You can't transfere it due to it is located in System 32 I think.
Secondly, a hole OS cannot be installed by transferring data.

The game files, no, not all games.
Reason is that most files in both OS and Games are hidden in AppData etc. in order to not be copied so easily. So you have to reinstall the games to not get any errors, and the OS system.

as long as i can get them on the new HDD it's ok if i have to uninstall them then re install. as long as the activation code still works that is, so i don't need to get new one

It might just work to copy and paste the entire program files folder (or the content in it) as well as the game folders in ''documents and settings''. At least it worked for me with arma 2 + all the mods. Had to reinstall it in the end though, pkugins and patching got effed up. Maybe it is enough to copy your save files folders and reinstall it on the new HDD? Smile
