Hi, guys!

I recently install Vista Ultimate on one PC (HP Pavilion a1700n).

I remove the 40 GB IDE HD from the HP PC and put it into a Compaq EVO 510 PC.

Result: Vista does not boot.

I have searched the subject on the web but still have not found a solution. And the Microsoft Vista so called “step by step” help seems awfully complex to me.

Has anyone a simple way to solve this problem?

I have also tried the reverse (from compaq to HP PC): Same result!...

With XP I could boot into safe mode or just boot normally and XP would detect and install the new hardware it finds.

However, with Vista I am stymied!

Any (simple) practical solution?

loooll of course it will not work because the system and the specs of pc on which you install it is not the same...Don't waste your time mate

The solution is simple...Just put the hd on the compaq and install vista again!
