Hello

Don't give me any credit for this. I have just copied wholesale from a post
by one Larry Hooper:

Restart your office/easy-chair computer, with the newly configured hard
drive, in "Safe Mode". Start/settings/control panel/system/device manager.
Delete EVERYTHING in device manager... drives before drive controllers.
Your mouse should continue to work while in safe mode.
Start/run; type: "regedit", without the quotes. When regedit opens find
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum. Delete this entire key.
Start/Shutdown.

Now plug your new hard drive into the new computer and crank it up. It will
find the new hardware as before, but without any chance of conflicts from
old hardware data. Good as new! ! !

P.S. I just looked, and Win2k doesn't have the same registry keys, so this
is
a win9X only tip. There are several /enum keys in w2k.
