If the hardware isn't too different there may not be a problem, and it maybe just find all the hardware... I've found it's usually only a problem when moving between single and multi proccessor systems... ghost the disk first though, just in case.
I've heard another way around it is to do an 'apgrade', if you have a W2K upgrade CD (eventhough it's already running W2K), and pull the disk out before it reboots. Then put it in the new system and watch it find all the hadware on it's 'first-boot'.... Never tried this myself though.

Subject: [SLUG] off topic: transferring W2K to a new system
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 14:31:59

I need to transfer a W2K HD to a new PC, totally different hardware,

is there a way to do it short of re-installing W2K,
or:
don't waste time, just reinstall afresh

all user data is on a different partition, so, fresh install is not
really an issue, apart from time it takes
