Transferring Disk Drives from a Windows NT System
Transferring Disk Drives from a Windows NT
System
The following list provides an overview of how to transfer disk drives
from an existing Windows NT system to a Windows 2000 system
using the disk configuration floppy disk. The sections that follow the
bulleted list provide step-by-step procedures.
• Create a disk configuration floppy disk that contains the registry
information about the disk drives while you are still running the
Windows NT operating system.
• Make sure both systems are properly shut down and you move
the disk drives to the Windows 2000 system.
• The SCSI IDs must remain the same on the Windows 2000 system
as they were on the Windows NT system. You should change SCSI
IDs on the existing drives of the Windows 2000 system to
accommodate the new stripe set.
• Import the disk configuration floppy disk containing the registry
information into the Windows 2000 system.
