If you can keep the same hard drive, just plug that one back in the new system. Linux will do a good job of picking up the new hardware, etc. Windows will probably have some sort of panic but should go ok if it's windows 98. You will have serious trouble if its w2k or xp.<BR>
If you can't keep the same drive, for windows you can just zip the entire partition, then unzip it on the new drive. For Linux, you can dump then restore, if you can hookup the drives simultaneously, you can dump/restore all in one step, thanks to Bob Meyer for this one, mount the partition that you want to restore to and from within that location type as root "dump 0uf - /dev/hd? | restore xf - " without the quotes. hd? would be whatever number partition your restoring <BR>
