I am doing a transplant of a 8.5gb HDD into my Linux box and taking out a 4.4gb HDD with Ubuntu Linux on it. This 4.4gb drive is going into a older system and im worried that the settings wont work with the new hardware. So, since you can re-configure X and stuff through the console, is there any way possible for it to do all the hardware detection etc again without formatting and re-installing.

ok, i was thinking because windows sometimes has a few problems if you switch the HDD out of one computer into another.

ive re-configured x before, there wont be any speakers/sound card so there is no need for that, modem is connected through Network, the only drive thats different is the CDROM

I get a Kernal Panic. Later ill try to see if its hardware orientated.
