Moving a HD w/operating system to a new computer

[Aaron2]

Afteroon:

I just bought all the goodies for a new system. All I need to move over to my new system is my HD, soundcard, burner, and NIC.

What do I need to remove from DEVICE manager before the HD move?

I know I need to uninstall my video card driver... I'm just not sure what to remove under the SYSTEM DEVICES. Everything? Should I uninstall any other drivers? Soundcard/burner/network card?

Any other tips would also be great.

I'm going from a P2350 to a Thunderbird 1gig (woohoo!).

Thanks!

Boot to safe mode and remove EVERYTHING that can be removed in device manager to give yourself a clean start on hardware detection. BTW, make sure you have your Windows CAB files on the hard drive as you will not be able to access the CD-Rom when requested until the hard drive controller and CD-Rom are re-detected and the system rebooted.
