Combing Two Computers

Yes, but before moving any HDDs both machines have to be off.

Also like I said, make sure you're NOT moving any installed programs (typically stuff in program files folders).

Ahh, alright, now I understand everything.

I really appreciate your help, this has been something that I've been puzzled over for some time now. Thank you very much.

Oh, one more question guys - all of this help is good enough to let me do what I need to, but I just saw this "Windows Easy Transfer" feature. Is this a decent way to go? I just thought that there might be a reason no one mentioned it, unless you may not have heard of it. Just curious. Thanks guys!

We tend to not use typical Windows features like that or the in Windows format tool. A great admin once said "Using Windows format is like cleaning with a dirty shop rag". So yea, best to do it the easy/hard way. (although I know the quote is for format and not the transfer)
