Are you saying you are moving your operating system and boot drive to another PC
to use as the boot drive? This won't work.

You can't just start up the drive on a new computer because of different MB
and configurations. The only way to do it is to remove all devices from device
mgr, and reinstall them. I actually remove the cards from slots and put them
back in one at a time. This seems to minimize conflicts.

Or a complete reinstall.
