Transferring HD and OS to new system
Got myself a new partial upgrade. Includes an NF4 MB, A64 3000+, 1GB memory and a PCIE x700 PRO.
My question is this. Can I do some sort of repair install of my XP Pro OS so that I can move my existing hard drive on to the new system without loosing any data.
Lazy, I know, but I can't face a reformat and re-install of all my programmes, every thing is running so well at the moment.
Thanks

I might give that a go this weekend, if I get time.
It sounds like a pretty quick fix, but if it goes wrong it could take a long time to put it right.

I have done between 150 and 200 and had maybe 3 with problems?

The advice about tweaking your BIOS and uninstalling the old drivers before removing the HD from your old system is excellent.
thanks for the help.
I did as suggested and it all worked fairly well. Just had a couple of programmes that had to be reloaded, but the process was fairly painless, it kept all my settings.
