You cannot install Windows on one system, switch hds, and expect it to work in a new system. It will not. Wait for the new hardware and do the installation when it arrives. hmm but isn't windows portable only hardware specific implementations may VARY that HAPPENS at install time(setting particular to specific hardware) isn't there a way so that windows can rebuild it...using some utility or software. point me if heading wrong..Quote from: HardwareTwitch on October 19, 2012, 04:47:41 PM hmm but isn't windows portable only hardware specific implementations may vary that happens at install time(setting particular to specific hardware) It's 'portable' until it's installed. The installation determines some various specific components and drivers related to the motherboard such as the HAL. BASICALLY, if you swap out things such as the motherboard, the system will have to "start over". Usually, it won't boot at all. One way that can often fix it is to do a Repair Installation of the Operating System, but wherever possible it's always best to simply install the OS with the appropriate system board that will be used- this prevents future problems with regard to the License, and sometimes a repair install does make the system bootable in such a case so you have to reinstall anyway. |
