    If you just double click the 'REG' file, it would be merged with registry of the computer on master hdd. If you have backed it by other means then you should look at the docs of the utils.

    no.

    the reg is associated w/ the system drive and, in u'r case, the slave isn't system.

    I haven't looked closely at the articles I posted, but I believe it can be done. Unfortunately I don't have the time to test it for you, so I suggest you give it a try.
