Maybe so, but it is also the BEST advice NOT to take a hard drive from one machine and stick it in another. The chances of it working are slim. Take in to account not only all the changed hardware, but activation information as well, hardware identifier keys, encryption codes based on hardware ID, etc....
For example, my friend simply upgraded to a new CPU, then BOOM XP doesn't let him use Media Player or Real Rhapsody because the music license keys didn't check against the new hardware or some stupid thing. And he was locked out of all the music and it wouldn't repair itself.
Let's just say, rather odd things can happen when transfering an HDD like this.
