Replace Mobo in XP??
Hmmm ... I have been reading this thread trying to figure out what you are
trying to achieve but it seems you are only talking about a hardware swap in Win XP (home or pro makes no difference). If I had a whole day to swap hardware parts and tootoo with the OS, then yea, why not do it your way, would beat the hell out of having to check the same install screen between other tasks. But I think the guys here are working on the following premise : expediance and highest possibility for success. Change the hardware, reboot and test -working, excellent done! If not working next step Try reinstall over the top (aforementioned repair install) then test - working, great finished! If not working Slave back-up, clean, reinstall - not working Other issue, different job - tshoot accordingly Admin time ... about an hour or so spread over a day. Your way if it works may shave time off but it looks pretty prone for failure at the moment, so you spend about an hour or so working through the recovery console and the F6 driver install page, make it work ... nice job. Don't make it work ... start on the process above. This effectively doubles the admin time to complete a simple hardware swap. Hmmm ... let me see which I would go for ... 1 hour max or 2 plus hours. I think I would go for the hour at this stage, means I get more time to search for those elusive "Fix it all, forever" documents that I am sure someone has on the net. |

Replace Mobo in XP??
Hello, I've switched 3 MoBos with the same operating system, XP pro, and found no hardware problems at all! In fact it did reinstalled the necessary drivers as it saw fit, I merely plugged the same hard disk into 3 different systems, as follows:
Soyo DRAGON KT400 to Gigabyte KT600 to Soyo DRAGON KT600. Hardware variance: ON the KT400 AthlonXP 2800+ Muskin DDR400 512MB RADEON 9800 XT Western Digital 100GB 8Meg Buffer With XP Pro installed ON the Gigabyte KT600 AthlonXP 3200+ (changed) same as above, save the CPU, no Windows reinstalation. On the Soyo Dragon KT600 Same as above I continued to use the same Windows and saw no performance dilapidation, nor any sign indicating a system error, in fact I wasn't even encouraged to reinstall windows until I bought a new Hard Drive. I hope this was helpful, any doubts please mail me since I don't visit these forums often. Regards, Arcadius |

When XP restarted it detected all the new hardware and installed (or asked for) any new drivers that were needed. Never had a problem... And if it doesn't work (it doesn't always work), you resort to the "repair install" method. That's what we're all trying to tell the guy! Not all but just a few wackos unable to deal with the fact that an alternative does exist. Yes, I see all of your believers supporting you.
