Roger, My home computer is making a loud noise, I think from the hard drive. Last night, it started turning off/on/off/on until I removed AC power from it. Also, when it's unplugged, it loses it's time. HD has Win 98 on it. So, it sounds like I have to also get a new hard drive and put on with the bare-bones and run this one has a slave...which I am not sure how to do..only read about it. Thanks for the reply, Roger, Wally.

I think you will experience trouble when it trys to boot up. I have tried using a HD from one PC installed into another chassis and it wouldn't make the boot up. It kept finding "new resources" and "new hardware" and finally just locked up. The drivers for your old MB will most likely be different from the new MB, unless you know it's the same model # MB, which is highly unlikely. The last time I tried this was with a HD with WIN 98. Newer OS's may not have as big a problem. I'm not that familiar with WIN XP....maybe it could handle it ??? What OS do you have?

If I purchase a bare bone system..includes mother board, can I transfer my hard drive from my current PC over to the new bare-bone system with no trouble? Thank you.
