RE: Re: switching WinXP licenses on two PCs

Rick,

I would think the only thing you would get is that when you boot up for the
first time, you get notified about the new hardware (drive) found and hit F1
and on you go as it notes this in the stored config and doesn't bug you the
next time. I've replaced some drives here at work lately and that's what I
see.

Dave,

Well, the WinXPpro install was done to a brand new, out of the box
disk drive early this summer, so it's pretty fresh.

I use Zone Alarm and run adaware, spybot, and AVG antivirus, all
updated weekly, so I'm pretty sure it's all good.

the bios thing could cause a problem, but i think that should be
picked up on first boot - I had no problems putting the brand new
drive as the master on the old pc, so I would hope the newer one
should recognize it.

I've been wrong before though.

Rick
