Is it possible to move a hard drive with Win XP or 2k loaded to another machine without the same hardware. You use to be able to do so with Win95/98/NT. Reason I ask, trying to get a 2k/xp image that will work on different hardware (like i use to be able to with WinNT/98/etc). I tried sysprep, I tried different imaging software, then finally I thought, let me see if i can just move the drive to another machine (didn't work).

Any help would truly be appreciated.
 
Sorry failed to mention that I bsod on reboot after I moved the drive. I looked up the error and its pointing to the pnp for the IDE controllers not being able to reintialize. Same error with 2k and xp.
