New hard drive --- why not set it up as a second drive in the computer. Easy to do, if unsure, google installing second hard drive and you will find instructions on how to do it. Then move all your data files from the currently C: drive to the new drive. This will free space on the C: drive and give you a brand new disk for storing all your work which you will not want to lose. This also makes backup of data easier as everything is on one drive. Leave all your applications on the C: drive. No programs to reinstall (change the drive and you will have to install EVERYTHING, Windows and all updates, other programs --- probably about 2 -3 days of work.



You could also then set the second drive as the location for the Windows swap file and the PS scratch file.

If it is a small file then you might be able to copy it to a flash drive(make sure you write down the key code if there is one) then install your new hard drive then but the flash drive back in. You might have to reinstal it but thats better then losing it. =)
You have to disable the license number you have and then install it on the other computer using the same license number. I think you can find directions on adobes website.
Photoshop is a different program to adobe and will automatically go into adobe under a seperate file the sad thing is you might have to reinstal photoshop
If you have the installation CD/App and a valid registration key, it should be fine.
