Re: moving hard drive from one computer to another

You can't JUST move it from one computer to another if it contains the operating system. When you install windows it creates the hardware abstraction layer based on the system it is installed on. If you move the drive to a second computer, you will have do a repair install using the install disk. This will recreate the HAL. After that it should work fine.
