MIGRATE TUSL2-C to P4PE-BP

[JA]

My daughter has a TUSL2-C that I am trying to migrate to a P4PE-BP. I am
trying to avoid reinstalling the operating system and all the programs.
I took the HD out of the TUSC2-C and put it in the P4PE-BP but all the
thing does is constantly reboot. I can put it in a P4T-E and get it to
play but then putting it back into a P4PE-BP results in the same reboot
thing. I have moved HDs before from machine to machine to upgrade
without reinstalling but this one just wont play. Anyone have any tips
to make this work? I thought I could get it to switch but so far no
joy. There is obviously something in device manager that should be
deleted but I don't remember what it is. Someone out there know the
answer??

Hallo, JR:
I just migrated a HDD with WinXP from an Intel environment (PIII on
BX440) to an AMD rig (Athlon XP on nForce2) with a repair install...
seems that's the way to go...

Two words: BAD IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When changing motherboards, it is *ALWAYS* a far better idea to
reinstall the OS from scratch. You'll save yourself a LOT of
potential headaches and refreshing your system with a complete
reinstall keeps in running in tip-top shape. Too much glut is left
over from previous programs and hardware.

The best Thing is to create two partitions, one for your windows and one
for your data. So you are able to kill the OS whitout loosing your data.

c:\ => only Windows and your installed Software
d:\ => only your personal Files

Works fine ...

WRONG!!! I reinstalled using the repair option and all is fine. It is
not ALWAYS better to do a reinstall. There is not always too much glut
just in your mind. The machine works just fine now. If you can't offer
a constructive solution keep your destructive solutions to yourself.
