What's the easiest way to move a system from one hardware platform to another?
I have a fully functional system that runs on a motherboard with Intel P4 CPU, and I want to move it to a motherboard with a AMD Athlon CPU..
Peripherals like network adapter and graphics adapter is identical.
I guess that I can't just lift out the hard drives and move them over and then expect the system to work? I have done just that in the past several times with no problems. You might have to reconfigure the video card for xwindows to work if its a different video card in the new machine. It should detech the new hardware an be ok for you.
make a tgood backup of your system then go for it. jack
