If switching motherboards, in most cases it won't even boot, due

warrant the risk of wasted time.
It's better to start again and reinstall everything. You know how
long it's going to take (a full day) and when do you have to
return to the computer to enter information. No surprises.
But changing to a different HD is easy if you have the right
utilities.
Best regards.

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.
Thank you srn. That was my point exactly. Macs have never been p3 nor
p4. I work on those other things all day long and some times more
than half the night. I come here to discuss mac specifics . If I want
to discuss the others there are thousands of other forums to go to.
Let's keep our Mac specific one, MAC SPECIFIC, Please.
Thanks,
