Makes you think though... this wouldn't have been a problem with Windows 95 or 98. Or even MSDOS. In the "old days" you COULD just slap an old hard drive to a new system and still be able to boot.

And in Hollywood movies, this would never be a problem either. Heck! You could chuck in a Mac floppy and it'll boot up fine in alien computer system!
