Will this work?
Basically, I have a laptop with no optical drive running Vista. This is what I want to do if possible.
1) Put the HDD in my other laptop
2) Backup the Vista install to disc just in case
3) Use GPartEd to split the HDD into 2 partitions
4) Still in my other laptop, install XP performance edition
5) Swap it back to the original laptop
6) Make sure I can get drivers for everything
7) Hide the Vista partition from the bootloader (This will be my moms laptop so I want it going straight to XP)
Can I do all that? I remember from a computers class I had to take that after you install windows, if you change more than X number of pieces of hardware, you have to reinstall or something like that? Or would there be serious driver issues from installing on one computer and moving to another?
TIA
