How To : Swap Hard Drive without reinstall WinXP

[Jaalto]

THANKS! Had to move an existing WinXP image to another computer. Imaged from the drive to a second drive in the 'old' computer and then reset the IDE and SATA drivers prior to moving that second drive to the 'new' computer. Great tip!

Windows 7 has a USB installer program on the disc, so you can install from USB.

There are other ways of getting the proper XP and Vista discs to installable USB too.

Might that be an option as well?

dude you area syaing DO THE SAME THING FOR THE OTHER TWO DEVICE?? What device, YOu seem to have only one labtop connected. then two monitors. You should had forgotten how the ACTUAL CABLE CONNECTION you got going men

[ecceservices]

I dont get what is going on on this video. There is labtop with no scren. Then there is a computer LCD, which i dont know if that is from the labtop from no screen, or from a normal PC TOWER. Then there is a labtop with no CD drive, so i wonder WHICH comptuer he has on the monitor.

@mhatcher0911 the idea behind it is to remove all drivers so system goes back as it was just installed windows. it should work as video shows, but one thing, i dunno how to "ensure" that the drivers are removed.

[Traviswhite123]

it worked but now my keyboard and mouse are not working so I cant login to install drivers...any suggestions?

[TheCrazyFinn]

MEOW!

[cooldude11011]

Thanks a lot dude!!

[Flameup67]

can you just switch a hard drive to another computer that ahs a different os or no?

[tricccple]

how about BIOS?

[tricccple]

yeah? usually laptop will auto detect at least b4 windows it would work, but do make sure it's connected b4 u turn on

[tricccple]

@ralphy613 if it's properly done, then yes, remember the key is to set the drivers back to b4 it is setup

wow this was exactly what i was looking for. thanks a lot!

[tricccple]

glad it t o be beneficial

[Deebo2K4]

well i gave this a try and when i put the hard drive back into the original computer it gave me the message "A disk error has occured". oh well, thx anyways

[Gitiaa]

[tricccple]

i should add, something i missed out, if the mobo already died, i personally dunno what to do, LOL

my friend's laptop died few weeks ago and he had another laptop to put the HDD on, but he only got BSOD.
