Am I being stupid?

Basically, I have all new parts waiting to be fitted into my case, but I really cant be bothered going through all the hassle of a new Windows (XP32 SP2) install.

Whats the worst that could happen if I try to load up windows from my old install with the new mobo, ram, etc. Basically, I have had this install for about 2 years now and I really don't want to have to re-install all the programs, redo reg tweaks, and settings and stuff.

Obviously I will eventually, but I'm working all the time now and am just feeling lazy. Thoughts? Ideas? Advice? etc

Yeah obviously this isn't intended as a permanent rig, just a temporary solution as I don't want to go through all the hassle right now (working a lot lately, cba with the stress). Sounds like I'd be spending just as much time messing about with driver issues trying to make it work anyway so it looks like I'll just bite the bullet.

Ta all the same, it's pretty much as I thought.
