Moving Software from an ABIT KD7A MB to a ASUS P5NSLI MB

(I tried this post in the General W2K group, and it may be beyond the
interest level there. Possibly networkers move images around more frequently.)
I'm about to start building a new PC with an ASUS MB (SATA/PCI, PCIe, IDE,
etc.) from the remnants of a PC with an ABIT MB (IDE/PCI). The old PC has
W2K installed on its C-drive. I've been told it might be possible to do a
transfer of the OS, apps and data from the old PC to the new PC using
something like Norton Ghost or Achron (sp?). I would mount the old (IDE) HD
as the D-drive, and the new SATA drive as the C-drive. Is that true? I would
expect to have to find new drivers. Is that pretty much it? Where would I
get the drivers and how would I know which to find? Is W2K going to tell me
when I try to boot up on the new system?
It's tempting to do this if it would work, but my old PC has about 6-10 apps
to re-install. It may take a few hours to install, and some time to scrape
up data files. Suggestions?
