Hi there,

Had an unexpected HD replacement this weekend in my iBook. I managed to stop using the machine before the drive completely went on the fritz, and I've got it installed in an enclosure to move my files onto the new HD.

Here's the question: I have a number of program files that I've got on the old HD. Is there a way to drag-and-drop them into the new applications folder to have them work? If not, does Apple provide a piece of software that will allow me to move them and retain the proper file forks so as not to mess up my new system?

Thanks!
