thanks so much, you guys.
here is what i found out locally: software that uses an "install" icon (installer program) needs to be re-installed from ground zero. you can keep all user prefs when transfering across those files from the b/up hardrive.
here is some cool info (tip):
buy a small, very inexpensive external firewire HD (like 40 or 50 megs- cheap) for the enclosure the HD comes in. then buy as large an internal HD for your particular machine that you can afford. pull your computer's HD, swap it for the tiny HD in the enclosure you bought, and install the big internal HD into your machine. now you have (in my case, 20 gig) an external firewire drive that is actually usefull, and an awesome new, bigger drive in your box!
later.
