Transplanting hard HP Elite SFF 8200, 8300 and vice versa

Some time ago I asked a question on the transplantation of the hard drive of my HP 8200 desktop computer for my new HP 8300.

As suggested, I installed files to controller hard drive before the drive, and almost everything seemed to work fine. (Windows installed some additional drivers after training has been installed).

The operating system recognizes the new serial number etc, but HP Support Assistant still thinks it is installed in an HP 8200 machine. This caused a problem or two becauseHP support help has tried to install a new update of the BIOS for the 8200, which of course will not work.

I have installled the hard drive of my new 8300 in the 8200 and run Setup from there. This has caused fewer problems but still think that it is installed on the 8300!

I assume that there is a file that identifies the operating system of the machine. Is it possible to edit this file, or replace the file with the correct version?

Nigel.

I try to uninstall HP SA, reboot the machine and then download and install the latest version of HP SA.
