Moving the hard drive to the new machine MAY NOT WORK!

I strongly suggest that you back up the drive first.  If you have the exact
BIOS in the new machine, then it will most likely work.  I am assuming that
the motheboard is NOT a XT board.

You will have to find a drive type which matched exactly to that of the old
motherboard.  If you can't get that ... I hate to say it ... you're out of
luck, you'll have to reformat.

I hope this helps.
P.S. -- I have a lot of friends in SUNY Buffalo.
