All PC's made in the last 15 years or something use IDE interface for harddisks. Newer motherboards using SATA interface, usually still have 1 or 2 IDE ports available, so no problem there... Software wise, you might get some trouble. If the harddrive you want to move contains only data, there is no problem at all If the harddrive has windows XP installed on it, you should consider this: Windows XP could cause some problems. The win XP registration code check, uses several key components of your pc, such as the cpu, to check if the registration is ok etc. If you change the cpu, motherboard etc. XP can give you some trouble. You can request a new registration key from microsoft, explaining you upgraded your pc etc. If your previous registration is legit, it shouldn't take too much trouble to get it. If you have a warez version of XP, the check is probably disabled, or you can bypass it the same way you did the first time. If you have 2 partitions, like one with data and one with OS etc. you could consider reinstalling XP. __ The mysteries of the distorted snare...

Later on you can reuse this cabinet to add extra storage to your machine by replacing your old disc with a new one. Also cool for backups etc... __ Check my soundcloud (exclusive tracks on there) 25-12-2006 18:08 Muad'Dib Andrejnalin Registration Date: 02-12-2003 Posts: 4,197 Helpfulness rating:  Or you can pirate a serial number.
