I think you stumbled into the wrong party. Look at the subject;
installing a new OS on existing hardware, not new hardware on existing
OS.

However, as long as you brought it up, to repeat what I have said
several times, and Stephen just said again, between Dani, uniaudio and
Snap, OS/2 can be moved from one system to another and not even seem
to notice. All my HDDs are in plugin racks. I did not do a fresh
installation of OS/2 for two years. But I built probably eight
systems. I just copied my existing OS/2 partition to the new system.
Sometimes I had to replace the NIC driver.

I have so much trouble installing eCS that I established an "eCS
friendly" environment and made several basic installations with
different drive letters. I then parked them on a storage drive. Now
if I want to build a working system I'll just get a copy of one of
those installations. It does work.

I have moved Windows between systems. But it goes nuts. It can't
even find the new MB. P & P? Ha!
