If i'm running the same HDD on a different computer ( meaning, different board and mobo only ) with an OS in it, will it run?
Another thing, can i use a HDD with an OS in it as my D: without reformatting?

the answer to the first one is probably not unless you have 8/8.1 as all oem editions before that are tied to the motherboard and will not work in a different computer. the answer to the second one is yes you can use it for storage and what not however it can cause all sorts of problems as the computer can sometimes decide to try and boot from that drive
