Solve : Loading Hard Drive with Win 2k in another Notebook?

1.	Solve : Loading Hard Drive with Win 2k in another Notebook?
Answer» Hi Guys I am running Win 2k in a Gateway Solo 9300. When I attempt to move the hard drive to another laptop [a Gateway Solo 450SX4] I get the Blue Screen. We all know how sensitive Win 2k is to a different driver ENVIRONMENT. My guess is that the new driver requirements of another PC is setting off the Blue screen. Can anyone tell me how to disarm the old drivers beforehand or bypass them so windows will look for the new drivers and the OS will load without giving me the "Blue Screen"? Thankyou - JuanWin2k/winxp crack down to stop people transfering o/s/s.......attached the notbook via a null modem/data link cable and transfer your files......you the FILE transfer wizard.....Start in safe mode.Merlin That's just what I'm trying to avoid. In order for your suggestion to work, I'd have to be able to get to the desktop. I've already duplicated the hard drive so I could leave my other notebook operable. If you're suggesting loading win 2k in first, and then copying files over, you're talking about way to much work. I THINK i tried Fed's way, but I'll have to look again.

It is not happy with just any pc100Mhz chip. It wants what is specified for it. I experimented with three different Solo models. The pc100 chip would work in two of them but not in the 5300 model.
