Thanks for your reply.This drive has the OS on it?
And you're hoping it will simply boot up in the all new hardware?
Unlikely.
There are 3 possibilities:
I've seen all 3. Depending on the overall difference between old parts and new parts...the likelihood of #1 changes.
- It boots up just fine
- It fails completely
- It eventually boots up, but you're chasing issues for weeks/months.
All new hardware, a clean OS install is strongly recommended, often required.
