Default Re: Transfering HD to new computer

I got it to do a repair. I didn't have repair as an option on the old comp.
before removing the HHD. When I put the HHD in the new comp. I had the option
of doing a repair with the XP CD. Went through the process and I'm Now
installing SP2.
Thanks so much to everyone involved for being so much help!! It is greatly
appreciated!!!
