Copying OS and Software from Server to Server

[FOBSIDE]

I have someone that has a Small Business Server and wants to copy everything over to another server. They've lost a lot of their CDs or I would try to install from CDs. I don't believe Ghost is an option, because the hardware is completely different. Does anyone have any ideas? I know this is a long shot.

Thanks in advance for any help.

im an idiot you said server i read server...but thought XP sorry.


other than that i would just try and find "backup copies" online and use your current licenses, or just contact the vendors to achive another copy (by web or mail).

Yeah, this server has a RAID too, so I think it's a lost cause.

This may be totally ignorant, but can't you just copy over the files and registry keys?
