OK, I had a Pentium 166 running Win98SE motherboard die. I have a working Pentium 233 running Win 98SE. I tried taking the hard drive from the 166 and putting it on the 233 and it would not boot - error said something like no operating system found.

How can i either get the hard drive from the 166 (4 gig) to work in place of the other (3 gig) OR how can I transfer the applications/registry etc to the hard drive that I can boot up with (all the transfer programs I have seen require 2 working machines). I can configure the 4 gig as a slave or use it in a USB enclosure. I also have both Norton Ghost 2002 and Drive Image 2002.
