I have a Dell Dimension 4300 right now and just aquired a Dell Optiplex GX260 – mainly because the GX260 allows Ram upgrades (to 2G) – I was stuck at 512mb with the old system. The GX260 has no operating system and a 40gb HD.
What I want to do is transfer my 190gb HD (along with XP Pro) to the GX260. My Dimension 4300 was purchased with the XP Pro installed but never had disc. Will this work, transferring the operating system with the HD?
I’ve switched the HD with and w/o the existing HD in the GX260 but will not get past the BIOS setup.
Or is this a config BIOS problem?
