        If you are moving from a 64bit capable machine to one that is not and you are running 64bit, then no. Otherwise it should not be a problem to move the drive to another machine and have it keep all the settings.

          both devices are 32bit, first is HP Terminal T5720, second Equinet NetPilot Plus

          everything runs smooth on the first device, it took me a lot to set everything to work :)
          but equinet is more powerfull, while 5720 runs on Geode 1Ghz and 512 ram, netpilot have celeron 2,4 and 1gb ram

            They are both running the x86 instruction set so it should not be a problem. As always, backup that config before you move it .
