Win XP2, Asus Board

I added a bigger hd and used Western Digital software to make a new
boot disc on my C drive from my old C drive

With the new drive Im getting a pop up window that said Windows
Installer without any program name.

I searched the drive and the Registry and couldn't find anything that
seem to correspond to that, like some program trying to reinstall
itself.

Also Im get an error that my cineplayer needs to be activiated. I
think it comes from Roxio but it would let me run it. I reinstall
Roxio but that didn't seem to help.

Also it wanted me to reactivate my Photoshop, which I did. And maybe
one or two other gliches.

Thanks.
 
Some programs do a check when starting on hardware components installed, and
ask for "re-activation" if major changes, and changing HD is such one ( since
author could think programm installed on other PC ...)
Also : how are your drives now named : new drive is C: I imagine. Where are
the programs now ? How did you reorganise your two drives

Thanks

I copied over the cineplayer directory from my old C drive and just
pasted it into the Roxio Directory, where for some reason even after I
reinstalled Roxio it didn't show up. I did try this before but this
time when I click in cineplayer.exe it opened. It asked for a serial
number which I didn't have at the moment, so closed it.

Since then no errant popup messages in regard to anything,.
