Dreamweaver Question

I have a computer that the motherboard just crapped out on. The hard drive is still good and I am wondering if there is any way to open Dreamweaver on my new computer without having to reinstall it on the new computer.

I am trying to get away from having to re-input all the "Define Site" information for all the sites that I worked on from the old computer. Like a bonehead... some of that information we did not have records of and it would probably take me eons to locate.

Please if anyone has a solution to this, I would really appreciate it.

    You can't "run" dreamweaver off the old HD. But you can recover all the site info, although it's going to be a pain.

    You'll have to run a repair install on Windows XP (note: the REPAIR INSTALL info is at the bottom of that aritcle, don't accidentally erase your windows install! It will destroy your site definition info!) on your old HD to get it to be able to boot your new hardware. Dreamweaver keeps site definitions in the registry.

    You'll have to boot long enough to open dreamweaver and export the site definitions.

    Then move the site def file somewhere safe, and go ahead and reinstall your PC (including dreamweaver).

    However, if the repair install works for you, you might just stay on that.
