If switching motherboards, in most cases it won't even boot, due to differences in the IDE drivers. The old hard disk has the old drivers and the new MB expects others. There are ways to avoid an install from scratch, but IME they are not reliable enough to warrant the risk of wasted time.

It's better to start again and reinstall everything. You know how long it's going to take (a full day) and when do you have to return to the computer to enter information. No surprises.

But changing to a different HD is easy if you have the right utilities.

Best regards.

I meant in a scenario when you are going from say a P3 to a P4. From one laptop/desktop to a completely different or newer laptop. I can't just pull the drive from my AMD based Gateway and expect everything just work in an Intel P4. HP. With all the driver changes it's best to rebuild, although I suppose you could, and just let Windows find everything.
