Victor:

I'm not sure if I tried that. But, my guess is that Win 2K
will give you hard time at the boot time. The NT family OSes
have apparently a very tight control (probably as a form of
copy-protection). The system registry (or something else)
probably checks the drive "signature" and won't cooperate
with you. I suppose a recovery console could make it bootable.
But, I have not had time to do more researchh on this.
