My original boot drive went south and won't boot. However, I can access all the docs and folders when using it as a second, 'data' drive. I have a new boot drive with a fresh copy of OSX installed.

How can I copy my applications over to the new drive? Is there any way to retain my old preferences/setups in the applications.

I'm so not wanting to start from scratch with every program.

Thank you for any ideas. Have a great day.
