Can I move XP from one hard disk to another in the same pc?

by bradlf . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

I have a Dell Dimension 4300 with XP Pro installed with the computer and I do not have the XP install disc.

(I have purchased another used Dell and was trying to transfer a HD to it with XP, but have found it would be a license violation and wouldn’t work – another thread!)

I have a 40g (which used to have XP on it) and a 190g Maxtor (which when I installed it, transfered the XP to it) – which was done through the Maxtor install disc. Is there a way to reverse this w/o XP disc? I was going to give this older computer to a friend but wanted to save the larger HD to save time re-installing a lot of software…
