replacing my hard drive

[prober]

I believe my hard drive on the laptop that has my hoster program is going bad. If I replace the hard drive, will I have to purchase my Hoster program again? I have retired from the Dj and Karaoke business and just use the hoster program now and then for personal use.

no, why dont you clone your bad drive to a new one ? all it does is make an exact copy of your drive. its plug and play.

If you have any of the version 4 then you can remove it and then re-install on new drive.
If it is an older version then submit a Support email Ticket in the Support section of the MTU web page to have them reset your registration code.

why would you clone a bad drive ? , if you cloned the same bad drive, you'll still have the same bad drive.it would be better to just start fresh, re-install .

a bad drive is not a corrupt drive. its probably just old. he said it was going bad. if he clones it it will take about 30 minutes and nothing will change. he just keeps on rolling with a new and larger drive.

when i say clone, i mean copy.

i use nortons ghost.

thanks for the information. Originally, I was getting a lot of "not responding" on programs. I don't remember the Hoster ever failing though. Recently, I can here the motor on the hard drive laboring when running. The laptop is 4 years old and has been used a lot, that is why I believe the hard drive is going bad and will replace it. I had a computer geek look at the "not responding" issue and he came up with nothing. Lately, this issue has been mimiumal.

Hi All,

Hope you can help....
I purchased new hard drive to transfer all KMA files, system would not read.
So rebuilt song data all went well, tracks playing fine, however I now cant import new disc..... Clicked on import track, there was no brand or disc id Categories.
This following error is appearing....
