Hello,

If I remove harddrive from one computer and read it on another one

can I find what devices:

video, audio, network were installed on that computer the harddrive came

from?

I appreciate your responses,

Claire
 
Hi, Clare,



I don't know for sure, but I doubt it.



Sometimes you don't get replies on here if it isn't strickly a windows

problem.



You could always try asking on these websites:-

Pretty arduous task, really. Load the machine's registry and look in

the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet###\Services key. Consult the

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select key to determine which ### key to look

at. See here for instructions on loading the offline registry:

Device Manager is part of Windows, isn't it?

Thank you, John.

I had a look at those keys but cannot find what I was looking for.

I need to find the name (model) of soundcard, the name (model) of video card

and the same for the network card.

I am afraid it cannot be done.

I tried on my computer searching in registry for my sound card (Aureal

Vortex) and the find was not successful.

Take a look in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet###\Enum\PCI key.
