Likely the registry, if you can call that doing anything right.
Ever tried moving a Windows HD to another motherboard and booting it. I don't think it ever works.
It almost always works. What doesn't work is *licensing*. Hardware wise -- no problem. I've taken completely different HD images ( 15K SAS in one case, same image copied to SATA-based SDD's.. came up w/o a hitch).
In recent Linux distros, it usually works, at least as long as the HD controller is in the same class.
--- Same image on windows will boot on SSD/SATA/RAID/SAS.... unless you put in something it doesn't know about... but anything that is standards compatibile, will work for booting.. maybe not optimally, but it will work -- and then Win7 will usually update the driver if better settings are needed. But this is ANOTHER deflection of the question. No one is talking about moving disk images around -- we are talking about installing a system, then ... why does linux/suse need initrd and Windows does not? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
