Hi all and Happy Thanksgiving,
Could I take 2 HD's out of 1 computer, move them to a different
computer, obviously having to reinstall grub and such, would they work
without having to do much of anything else?
I know I have to make sure the correct one is booted up and how they
are connected, and the BIOS sees them correctly.
Anything else to know first? The computers are both pretty new so not
like going from 10 year old to a 1 year old or anything, both only 3-5
years old even if that old.
that's how I "built" the system I have now. Had a pair of drives
in software RAID-1. pulled 'em out of the old system, plugged 'em
into the new system and voila (nearly) everything worked. One bottleneck
was the network wasn't working until I fixed the hard-coded MAC addresses
in the NIC configuration. can't think of anything else, right now, that
didn't work.
I did precisely this. The old mobo (three year old AMD Phenom,
dual-core hyperthread for 4 cores) went kffffft! Swapped it out with a
new Gigabyte Z97M-DS3H (Intel i7 quad-core, hyperthread for 8 cores).
Booted just fine (after it rebuilt the video driver). Had to modify the
network config for the new MAC address, but all was well.
All done on F22. Works a treat.
