Configuring OS

[DualFusion]

Hello,

I have a desktop that for some reason doesnt want to open or read its CD/DVD drives, the original ones that came with it and some other I tried putting into it. So without this working, I can't install the OS.

Would it be possible to get the HDD into another desktop, install the OS there, and then put the HDD in the original desktop? What will I have to reconfigure so that it can work with the box?

Thanks,
Kevin.

That should work, but make sure that the hardware does not differ too much.
