Let's say I have two cpu cases 

Both have windows installed and some work has been done on both of them(some projects and games)

My question is - if I remove the HDD of one case and put it into the other , how will it affect the contents of the HDD

Will the partition be same ??

Will I lose any the Data ??

If nothing goes wrong all data will be exactly like it was.
You could even select in the BIOS that new inserted drive as the one to boot from.
(altho if hardware is to different it can make it harder).

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
I'm just helping YOU to help YOURSELF!
(The more info you give the easier it is for others to help you out!)

Not willing to capitulate to the ignorance of the masses!
