I have at the moment a p2 333MHz which I am very soon going to update to a p4 2GHz. I have boguht new parts including a tower unit, motherboard, graphics card, 60Gb HD. The only thing is that I dont have a driver disk for the CD, Monitor, Printer, as they did not come with it when we purchased it from the shop prebuilt. The drivers and operating system are however installed on my existing HD and all I was wondring is if I could make my old HD the "master" and the new one im getting the "slave" without having to re-install everything. So will I be able to build the thing just turn it on and win98 will run like normal(hten I can install the new stuff). If this is a load of rubbish to any of you computer experts out there i apoligise, I just want to know.

If you were going to use your old hard drive as your master for the new computer youd have to do thsi enum key trick:

it removes the drivers and hardware from the old hard drive.. so your new hardware it detects when you boot up will install cleanly... hth
