I've swapped hard drives, video cards, etc in the past and had no issues. I've even swapped similar, but not identical motherboards, ASUS M2N64 for a M4N64 and activation was OK. As always though YMMV. IMHO, a hard drive swap is no big deal. It's one of the most common hardware swaps done. They wear out faster than most other component's.
