Moving a drive to another computer

[Vince Vielhaber <vev@michvhf.com>]

A friend was running windows and the viruses got the best of it. She
sent me the drive so I could get her pics and documents off of it and
put 5.0.4 on it and send it back (she's a few states away).

What problems (and solutions) should I be expecting when she installs
the drive in her computer?  I'm assuming the network setup will be one
problem.

My background is mainly in FreeBSD.  If a drive is set up as being
/dev/ad0 and the other machine sees it as /dev/ad4 it won't complete
the boot, it'll complain with a cannot mount root error.  Will that be
an issue with Debian?

Thanks!
Vince.
