    While it might work it will be missing registry entres
    However you can install from the original disks and then copy over the folder
    Then you don't need to patch aswell

    here's what you do:

    1) Run the normal install.exe. (this will create the base directories and registry entries.

    2) At the point where you connect and the client starts patching, cancel.

    3) copy over your STO Live folder (and subfolder contents) into the Cryptic directory - (whever it was created on the new Hard Drive.) If it askis you if you want to replace any existing files/folders, select"Yes"

    4) You should be good to go at this point - Log in and play.
