FreeLists / si-list / [SI-LIST] Off Track system question

[Doug Brooks <doug@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a little off-track, but I know someone here knows the answer to this!

I just replaced a motherboard in a system from a PII 400 to a PIII 1G. I 
had two hard drives configured for this system that I could plug and unplug 
into the computer, one with Win ME and the other with Win XP.  All the 
support hardware (video card, audio card, CD, etc) was the same --- just a 
motherboard, processor and memory upgrade. Neither drive would load windows 
after I switched motherboards. But I COULD do a clean install with a new 
hard drive! (Nothing wrong with the hardware!)

Does Windows (ME and XP) have a lock that prevents it from being moved to a 
different computer?

Doug
