RE: Will SCSI HD with OS work with refurbished Dell 670 with SCSI HD and no OS?



Assuming that you're talking a Windows operating system, the answer is
NO you cannot do that, for two reasons.

1) When XP is installed, it is tailored for the specific hardware. It
is possible to do this, but only from one identical machine to another.
2) It is a violation of the license agreement. That copy of the OS
'belongs' to the 330 and cannot be transferred to the 670.

HD and no OS?

I'm looking at a Dell 670 with 10K rpm SCSI hd, no OS, on eBay. I
have a Dell 330 WS with SCSI Drives and would like to know if I could
just take the "C:" drive out of the 330 and put it in the 670 and have
it work or must I go out and buy a new full version OS (No update).
TIA
