        good luck, you'll need it! That will freak on the new hardware but it may copy over and you can just reinstall drivers, etc. If it were xp, you would be totally screwed, I have tried that before. Doesnt work cause you know, you might be stealing it and there would be no reason for a global hardware change....yea right. xp totally sucks and it started with 2k. Ever try to deal with permissions on 2k? I once had to give a user administrative priviledges simply because they wanted there winfax to auto print on incoming faxes, true story!

            If you can keep the same hard drive, just plug that one back in the new system. Linux will do a good job of picking up the new hardware, etc. Windows will probably have some sort of panic but should go ok if it's windows 98. You will have serious trouble if its w2k or xp.
            If you can't keep the same drive, for windows you can just zip the entire partition, then unzip it on the new drive. For Linux, you can dump then restore, if you can hookup the drives simultaneously, you can dump/restore all in one step, thanks to Bob Meyer for this one, mount the partition that you want to restore to and from within that location type as root "dump 0uf - /dev/hd? | restore xf - " without the quotes. hd? would be whatever number partition your restoring
