I've recently tried to move my winxp installation to a new machine with
a different motherboard (HAL not the same). For info, the installation
had recently been upgraded from win2000 professional to winxp.
I tried to follow the procedure on how to do a repair install but
instead of discovering the already installed winxp, the procedure just
installed a new instance of winxp. When checking the system I discovered
that the "old" winxp was installed under c:\winnt but the new winxp was
installed under c:\windows. Could that be the reason why the
repair/install procedure didn't discover the existing winxp ?
Any suggestions to how I should proceed ? I still have the old HW so
maybe I should boot the old winxp from that and change systemroot and
then retry repair/install ?
Thanks,
