I have a theoretical problem this time. When moving hard drives from one mobo to another, different brands, models, and manufacturers, ordinarily reformating is required for the new mobo to "recognize" the hard drive, I think.
But, what if, on the old motherboard, the hard drive is running off of an SCSI PCI controller card (or an EIDE PCI controller card for that matter) with its own card BIOS. Could I not just keep the hard drive attached to its controller card and move both from old motherboard to the new motherboard without having to reforrmat the drive? Anyone done this and had it work?
Thank you in advance.
