| 297494 | 2004-11-29 00:10:00 | Your asking for all sorts of problems using a HDD with a windows installation from another PC on it. It can be done but the likelyhood of problems arising is quite high. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 297495 | 2004-11-29 00:22:00 | HP PCs don't come with disks, but they do have an option for u to make your own recovery disks - with a dvd writer - 1 disk, or cd-writer - 4 disks. You can only do this once, but it's all still in the partition. |

| 297496 | 2004-11-29 00:58:00 | If you are going to try migrating a HDD with XP+SP2 to another computer, using the method in the site I quoted above, then you do really need an XP install CD with SP2 slip streamed into it. Also it is best to uninstall any firewall and AV programs first. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||

| 297498 | 2004-11-29 03:47:00 | > And they're right there is NO disk/CD. > Thats what the partition is for to reinstall Windows, if needed. And YES you will have to buy your own version of Windows, if u want to reinstall Windows yourself. There's a small problem with that (although I'm probably stating the obvious) - how would someone restore Windows if their entire HDD crashed, losing the 'recovery' partition as well? Looks like they expect their users to simply buy a new computer when the drive fails, unless they're smart enough to create a disk image first. (Abba's 'Money, money, money' tune springs to mind...) |

| 297499 | 2004-11-29 04:07:00 | They would have to buy Windows XP or whatever if everything completely crashed. Thats the downside to buying a system with XP or whatever on it. Yup unless u backed it to cd or dvd or similar. Altho, most of the HP's I've fixed I deleted what they had on their system, with a clean install. It still works fine, Thats if u have a CD handy. |
