[ale] what if ....

[Chris Fowler]

I 
belive if you can go into safe mode on W2K and delete all the hardware you do 
nto have it should be fine.  I think that it may be fine anyway.  Our 
IT guys did this when people got new machines and they did not want to reload 
all the software.

  ....Hello All,   I started using Linux 
  about 6 months ago so bear with my simple questions. Â  I recently got a 
  new computer /*Woo Hoo*/ and loaded Red Hat 7.2. Â I want to take the 
  drive from the old computer and add it to the new. Â It is dual booted 
  with SuSE 7.1 and Win2k. Â My question is... When I add the drive will it 
  be possible to boot into Win2k or will it freak out because the hardware is 
  different? Â I want to keep the dual boot setup for the non-Linux types in 
  the house and I seem to have misplaced the Win2k install disk. 
  Â Thanks for the hepJeff Rose
