>>>Hi folks. I have a test server set up with Win2003 and Win2000 on it (multi-boot). I have a faster server now, and would like to transfer the hard drives to the new server without having to reinstall and set up everyting again. A simple installation of the drives in the new server causes both Win2000 and Win2003 to not boot complaining about new hardware. Is there a tool such as ghost that will allow the complete hard drive to be transfered between the two servers?

>>I don't think Ghost would be of any help. The problem stems from the hardware being suffciently different as to require different drivers for low level functionality to work.

Is the migration tool only for the server versions? I just recently had to do this with an XP system on a hardrive and had to re-install to get it to boot up at all.
