Question 1, The GOS cold boot copy to new HD is a software function.

Question 2, This is a feature built into the GOS.

The hardware is different between the 4400 and 4500. So installing on 4500 and moving to 4400 may or may not work.

I do know MS home server will install as well as most any Linux OS. But there are some flags that need set for it to boot.

On the 4400 you need to install a video card in the expansion slot, would help out on your installs of NON GOS software.
