migrating from old hardware to new hardware.

August 7, 2007

is there some kind of trick where you can add drivers to a working

windows installation so that if you were to just take those hard disks and

put them in a newer machine it would boot up and work?

I made a ghost image of one of the disks in my working exchange server and

then put the ghosted sata drive in a brand new dell poweredge 1900 and like

i expected it just reboots repeatedly.

Is there some magic way to add drivers for the perc sas raid controller

before i move the image over so that the boot loader is able to find the

windows installation? or am I dreaming in teletubbies land?

Re: migrating from old hardware to new hardware.

You can inject drivers, but will be hard to covers alls..

do you have perc raid ?

You may install dell drivers and make again your ghost
