| 546486 | 2007-05-03 01:12:00 | My friend has a hard drive loaded with windows xp. If he bought his hard drive around to my place and we plugged it into my PC as the master hard drive and take my hard drive out completely,will his operating system load normally on my pc? The cpu,video card,sound card are different to his pc. I am thinking it will work but we'll just have to install new drivers aye? |

| 546488 | 2007-05-03 01:40:00 | it might run if you are verylucky.......more likely it'll bluescreen before you get anywhwere close to windows.........then you'll need to run a repair install to set it up so it'll actually boot to windows and then you'll need to install YOUR mobo drivers and vid drivers etc.......... | drcspy (146) | ||
