Hard Drive switch...applications question...

[Master Chief]

I swapped drives last week because of the motherboard frying and it was easier to format the 10gb and install windows and try to retrieve the info from the 20gb hd.

However when I click a icon like the photoshop icon on the 20gb hd in the programs folder its saying it cant find the app. and I should reinstall it. Why is this and do I have to reinstall all the programs I had on it?

If you re-installed Windows on the 10gb this will basically make your programs on the 20gb inoperable. You can still access data you stored on the 20gb but installed programs are going to be screwed. You'll need to re-install them on the 10gb. This is because the programs are linked to the Windows that was on the 20gb and you're using the Windows on the 10gb.
