HUmm,
If your OS is still on your old hard drive can you boot from that drive..
then open Regedit?
Besides that, I dont know...
Some files that were part of another OS I dont know that you would be able to access.
The regisry editor for an OS I dont think you can open Like a file on your computer....

But Im just Guessing, I could be way off on that..

Sorry man, I had to say it.... Best just go by source and get the Whole package,, 1.6 should come with it.

You can buy Counter Strike Anthology with the three old games...WalMart $19.99. Then you can get CS:Source Package w/ DOD:Source WalMart 39.99. HL2 comes w/ CS:Source for $49.99. I just happened to veg out in this section while

suggestion -

Copy over all files you deem important from the slave drive to your new main drive.

Pull the drive cable from your main drive, plug the old drive into the drive cable in the master position, **Make sure the jumper on the old harddrive is set in the master or Cable Select configuration** - if it doesn't boot that way, set your bios to boot from CD, and install windows over itself without formatting. That might reinstall the system files needed to make the drive boot again. It's worked for me before.

At worst you have to properly format the drive and can set it back up as master or slave.
