Actually, 2k and XP were designed to allow this, the respective CDs come with a utility called SysPrep which strips out that info and lets Windows redetect it all (it was actually designed to allow for disk cloning to computers that needed similar software configs but had different hardware configs so you'll also need to retype the product key on bootup). IIRC though as long as the hardware in both computers was PnP compatible, 9x machines don't have any problems with it (unless there are any startup programs that relied on specific hardware in one computer which wasn't available in another). > Because it's just the devices that have changed, deleting >all of the devices under Device Manager will make it happy again on next >reboot.

Make SURE you reboot WITHOUT CD-ROM drivers once you've done the copy otherwise sometimes the setup program does get confused. Also copy all the drivers you'll need whilst you're at it. - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
