LINUX

There are many possibilities. You can't just move a HD to another system unless both have exactly the same hardware. It's just not a good way.
 

LINUX

It will not work until unless both systems have exactly same hardware configuration. When you install any operating systems it will also install device drivers for all supported hardware devices. In your case it might find the hardware but with different configuration e.g. both system might have sound card but the model/version of sound card will be different for which you will need different driver.
 

LINUX

The hardware must match it.

Dear All,
Thanks alot for your replies, the pb. was solved it was due to mis-configuration of the monitor and the VGA card. so i have to enter maunally the command
<system-config-display --noui --reconfig>
<reboot>
and all stuffs goes right, Thanks again.
