Move hard drive from an Intel machine to AMD new build
I want to move the hard drive from an Intel Core2 duo to a new build using AMD 64x2.
Do I just move the hard drive and do a repair install of XP Pro?.. or do I need to delete something first? I read GLC's tips on changing a MOB on Win 2000,, he said to go into device drivers and " upgrade " the master IDE controller to standard IDE controllers, shut down and make the change. I can't find the master IDE controller.. Is it listed in System Devices ? What is it called? MOB is P5B-VM with E6600 using XP Pro. Thanks |

Go to Device Manager (right click My computer, properties, hardware, device manager). What you need is listed under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers". Change the named one, not the Primary or Secondary. For example, if I was transferring a HDD I would change "Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) to standard driver.

You may have to do a repair reinstall. I haven't tested the controller change on SATA yet.
