here is what happened
i am trying to build a new computer but still use the hard drive from my old computer
i would really like to not have to lose all of my information
you are probably thinking i hould just make back up disk from my old computer and then load it to my new computer
this is not possible b/c my old computer has a burnt out cpu
i guess i will just give u my specs for the new and old computer
old:
hp a420n
xp3000+
could not find the mobo specs but it is a oem made buy hp based on a via chipset
120g maxtor sata hard drive(this was a after market part)
New:
939 amd 64 3500+
asus an8 sli deluxe
512 mb duel channel pc3700
single 6600 gt
120g maxtor sata hard drive(used from old comp.)
what will i have to do to get my new computer to boot in to windows?(keeping in mind that i would not like to buy windows or lose all of my old stuff?)
one exta question: is windows 64 beta version still free? and if so where could i get it?
