Swapping HDs between two different PCs

Just had call from daughter at uni (half a world away) that her IBM Pentium 2 has died. (Not recognising the hard drive on start up, gobbledgook on screen.)

Question: I know it’s not possible to set up software on one Pentium 4 to run on another Pentium 4, (or if it is possible to overcome that hitch, I’d love to know how), but would her P2 work if I set up a hard drive with Win 2000, Office and all the usual stuff (or Win 98, but preferably not) on my P3 and then sent the HD to her?
