Hard Drive Swap

I would like to remove the hard drive on my IBM laptop, which has Windows
2000 installed on it, and replace it with a hard drive which was removed
fromanother machine, same model 2682 R40, also running a freshly installed
Windows 2000. Undoubtedly there are some differences in the installed driver
versions, and the processor on the machine to be fitted is a Pentium 4M 2.0
rather than the 2.2 of the other machine. I'm pretty sure the two CD-DVD
combo drives are the same. The proprietary IBM software on the "blind"
partition that comes on a new machine is not installed on either machine.
Is it likely that once the replacement drive is installed the machine will
successfully boot up? If not, what, in general terms, would I need to do to
get it working? Am I stuck with a disk wipe/OS reinstall? TIA
