I have my new computer sitting here waiting for me to commission it.
In the past, when I had major problems that necessitated several
hardware changes within a couple of weeks, all I did was to swap the
disks each time and all OSs booted fine. naturally, I have had to
install some drivers, but that was only for the first swap.
I was confident in this going forward, but a fellow group member says
that he has to use OSDTOOL in IfL. I'll try my way first just for fun
and see what happens, after backing up of course.
I have printed off the necessary pages for if I need to use it and he
has provided guidance.
What can I expect if I use that script when loading the OS stripped of
its drivers?
The only "gotcha" that I am aware of when swapping disks in this
manner, was in XP if third party drivers were installed. That would
guarantee a BSOD and the vanilla MSoft drivers had to be installed
before the swap.
