I recently fried my MB and have decided to upgrade to new MB going from AMD to Intel CPU in the process. Can I simply move my old Boot drive to the new system? I realize that I will have to update all the drivers, so I was planning on running the Windows repair program from the origninal XP installation CD at the first boot. Will this work? Thanks!
