A friend's Pentium 166 running Win98SE motherboard died (with some help from me). I have a working Compaq Deskpro Pentium 233 running Win 98SE. I tried taking the hard drive from the 166 and putting it on the 233 and it would not boot - error said something like no operating system found. Drive is jumpered as CS.
How can I either get the hard drive from the 166 (4 gig) to work in place of the other (3 gig) OR how can I transfer the applications/registry etc to the hard drive that I can boot up with (all the transfer programs I have seen require 2 working machines).
