I started with Windows 3.1, and have upgraded to Windows XP.īecause of all of these changes over the years, the programs on my hard drive have become more than a little unstable. As I would upgrade my computer, I would ghost over the old hard drive to the new one, and upgrade my OS as new ones came out.

Plus this hard drive is a repository for programs I've been collecting for the past 20 years, and a lot of the install disks have been misplaced or lent out to others and never returned. A lot of them came from sites like where you could legally download full working programs for one day only. The computer I am now using has a ton of programs that I do not have the installation discs for. This was incredibly handy when I was working in computer repair, customers always wanted their programs put onto their new PC's, and as long as they had the CD's to prove that they owned the program, we just used Cleansweep to move everything over. You could then install Cleansweep onto another computer, and reverse the process, in effect using the compressed file and installing the program completely onto a new computer.
