I have just put together a new system, which works fine with a scratch 10GB
hard drive that I just built.
When I try to use my old 80GB hard drive (which worked fine with the old
hardware), I can't get past the screen which warns that the hardware has
been changed. I have the recovery console installed, and I've tried Safe
Mode, however, it just keeps looping. What do I need to do in order for the
old drive to recognize the new hardware?
I don't mind re-registering the software, I just don't want to lose all my
data on the old hard drive!
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Dave
