Ray,
I don't think that will work. I've only been successful one time installing new hardware
and then booting my old OS setup on the new hardware. That was on a motherboard
upgrade several years ago. The last several times that I tried to upgrade the
motherboard (in an effort to get rid of/isolate the hardware problem), my system booted
up on the new motherboard only the first 2 or 3 times. After that, it would not boot to
completion (boot froze).

Am I wrong in this, or is there some sure way to install new major hardware
(motherboard) and still boot on the old OS setup?
