My computer just went dead but the harddisk is still good. I want
to move the harddisk to another computer and boot from it. How do
I configure the OS for another computer? I heard that there is a
command I can type to have the OS recognize the new hardware. What
is the command? Thanks.

One of the many the OP multi-posted in. The OP will know.

Perhaps, but nobody else will. If someone else needed to know this now, they will have to either go searching unnecessarily, or
post it again. Kinda' defeats the purpose of your "informational" responses doesn't it guys?

Just points out the need to post in one group rather than multi-posting to a
bunch of groups. If the OP just has to give it to a half dozen groups, he
should cross post and that way no one has to ask the question you did:
"WHICH group".

I was being sarcastic. The two posters were being snide that the OP didn't cross-post, but instead of indicating where the question
was answered (or even leaving a message, directing them to a USENET netiquette article), they simply shrugged it off. So instead of
reducing traffic and frustration, they just exacerbated it; they committed the very "crime" that they were complaining about.
