You dont have to do this on windows actually there are many apps which will clone drives for windows and now reinstall required. i did it on my wifes pc using a app with a 30 day free trial.
I meant in a scenario when you are going from say a P3 to a P4. From one laptop/desktop to a completely different or newer laptop. I can't just pull the drive from my AMD based Gateway and expect everything just work in an Intel P4. HP. With all the driver changes it's best to rebuild, although I suppose you could, and just let Windows find everything. Of course XP will require you to re-activate because of a major hardware change and as long as you don't play any games you'll get by with that sort of driver load. A good registry cleaner would have to be ran also. It definately does not work as flawlessly as a Mac does but it is possible. I imagine you cloned a drive that was going in an identical, or near identical machine.
