Swapping Harddrives
I was wondering is it okay to take a harddrive from one machine and put it into another one to use with out reinstalling windows. Will this cause any problems????

You can sometimes do this but there are many drivers that need to be installed to match the new computer.

Sometimes with W2K and probably XP you'll get a blue screen and you'll need to use your CD to repair the existing windows installation to get the right hardware drivers installed.
