You might want to try clarifying your statment again. What exactly do you have in terms of hardware. what is a 2200, and a 4000. Generally moving hard drives between machines will not result in data loss. If it is a primary OS hard drive and you put it into a new machine, it will boot but you will likely get all sorts of hardware and driver conflicts as the OS is set up for a specific hardware profile (ie the machine you took the drive out of).
