I run a web server and it is showing its age and parts are failing. No CD capabilitites anymore.
I would like to take the HDD out of the old server and plug it into a newer PC I have next to it.
The server is running Windows 2000 Server. The newer machine is running XP Pro. Can I just unplug and then plug server HDD in newer and will it boot up like the old? (provided I disconnect the original HDD)
Or will I have to go in and make CMOS changes at bootup?
Can anybody give me a quick 1 - 2 - 3 on the process? I can run both HDDs in same machine, but just need the server now. The newer machine has a faster processor, more RAM, etc.
Thanks in advance...
