Marturo, I think that alternative approaches would include software
programs, such as Norton Ghost, that can be used to copy an exact image of
your old PCs active partition onto CDRs and then transfer that partition
image to your new PC's harddrive, or maybe a simpler approach of creating
the partition image copy on a secondary harddrive on the old PC and then
physically move that secondary harddrive to the new PC as a primary
harddrive. You could research the process on the internet. If there are
hardware differences between the two PCs then Windows would attempt to use
its plug and play capability to guide you through the necessary adjustments
for drivers etc.

Good luck.
