Physically moving you hard drive and its contents from computer to computer is no problem. If this
will be an additional drive on the new computer be sure to set the Master/Slave settings properly
between the two drives. What your friend was probably talking about is the System software on each
drive. When you instal an OS the software scans the computer it is installing on so it knows what
items to enable. The OS contained on the drive transferred from your C500 was written for the C500,
and may be missing items to correctly run a Blue and White. Since you already have the OS on the
B&W's other drive(?) you could just do a Custom Instal of the OS on the drive you are putting in, to
add/delete whatever is needed to make it fit the new computers needs. OR, do a Clean Instal on the
transferred drive, which saves the Old System as a separate file while it builds a new System,
without bothering any of your third party software(in theory, back up anyway as the warning always
says). Paul C
