Is there any way, or tool, to successfully migrate Windows 2000 to another piece of hardware with a different chipset (motherboard)? Is there any set procedure for disaster recovery if a server dies and you need to get it up and running on a totally different piece of hardware?

FIRST THING TO DO IS TO MAKE A COPY (GHOST)OF YOUR SYSTEM DISK,OR DO A MIRRORE .THAN TAKE ONE OF THIS DISK AND INSTALL IT ON THE NEW MACHINE .TURN IT ON IN SAFE MODE(F8) AND
REMOVE ALL HARDWARE.THAN REBOOT IT AND GO NORMAL. I THINK IT WILL BE O.K .
I HAVE TRANSFERD WIN2K PRO H.D TO ANOTHER BOX AND IT WORKED FINE.(IF YOU WANT TO BE EXTRA CARFULL DISABLE THE RRAS SERVICE BEFOR MOVING THE H.D TO THE NEW BOX)
