Re: WHS transfer

[Steve Morgan <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  The 'intended' approach is that you connect your disks to the new
machine, then boot from the install disk but select the option to do a
'system rebuild' (I can't remember the exact wording).

This will install a new copy of the OS but retain the data. You have to
be very careful to select the right option, though.

OK, so there'll be a fair bit of reconfiguration to do but at least the
data will remain.

Far, far safer than trying to reconstruct a mismatched system installation.
