It was actually quite simple.  Thanks for the advice.  I still have the 
other system folder on my other hard drive, so all I had to do was 
delete the file in my new system and then copy the file from the old 
system.  That should be about everything.  I am still going to wait a 
while before I erase the old system.

BTW, I don't know if it is because I am using a new install, or the 
fact that is on a RAID set up on 2 ATA drives, but my system seems 
quite a bit faster.

Thanks
