what was the old mobo and cpu?

DRDNA · Jan 13, 2007

Oh wow just looked at your specs ....You really need to reformat when you do that,especially that jump you made :cool:

when you install a new mootherboard you need to reinstall Windows.

ny_driver · Jan 13, 2007

what do you mean?

DRDNA · Jan 13, 2007

lol , they are different chipsets . wow I know it can be done but I have never seen it happen for my own eyes and I am a tech and do it for a livin ; I gave it try from socket 754 to socket 939 but I couldn't get it straight and had to reformatt...srrry

Means reinstall windows!

ny_driver · Jan 13, 2007

do you mean I will lose all my everything? or can I reinstall and keep my current files? I know how to install windows and reformat I guess..

DRDNA · Jan 13, 2007

Its a real pain in the ars to keep the apps after reformatting and requires a storage area for back ups ..Normally folks just grab there important jpeg and movies and documents and reinstall all apps.

ny_driver · Jan 13, 2007

Hmm...that means I will have to reinstall old mobo and cpu and get my files off there, then reinstall everything again and reformat and reinstall windows... :eek:

I feel pretty dumb now!

:respect:

Thanks for the horrible news

Time for a smoke and then a bit of re-work, my least favorite kind!

ohh....and some coffee too

Put in your XP CD and try a repair installation. That should allow you to at least get into windows and backup your files. Although I suggest that after you run the "repair installation" you do a full format and re-installation as "repair installations" often cause their own set of problems.

How do you mean that? I recently (1 month back) switched from a Asrock to a Asus board.
The only thing i did was clear the old motherboard drivers before removal.
When installed the asus board drivers no problems at all.

So it is really not true that you have to format your harddisc. A fresh install is always fine but is not a must.

NO! YOU DO NOT NEED TO INSTALL WINDOWS NEW!!

Put your old board back in, boot your windows:

then download this:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=3E90DC91-AC56-4665-949B-BEDA3080E0F6

Do a sysprep with minisetup, reboot BUT DO NOT LET WINDOWS START AGAIN, just turin the PC off as soon as it beeps for boot.

Put your new board and CPU in.

Boot the PC. You should get the windows setup. Windows will then reinstall the generic drivers for your controllers, thus windows will work again, you will not loose any file, you will not loose any installations.

cheers

what was ur old chipset and what was
the chipset you moved to?

zekrahminator · Jan 13, 2007

To repair windows properly-

Boot into install CD for XP (if you don't have one, go buy it. For the repair to work, it has to coincide with the version of XP you have).
Act as if you're going to install Windows, press "install windows", agree to license.
Wait for it to detect all previous installations of Windows. It will then ask if you would like to repair any of them.
Select the partition you want to repair, and then go play firsbee...or whatever you do for fun.

technicks · Jan 13, 2007

From ULi M1695 chipset to Crossfire Xpress 3200. But it was still the same socket :confused:

maybe that's why he is having trouble.

DRDNA · Jan 13, 2007

ya I kinda want to try that mobo you have >technicks

WarEagleAU · Jan 13, 2007

Just get a couple of DL DVDs and use Nero or Roxio to backup your games and such (if its that big of a deal) and important files and such. Then reinstall windows, its not that big of a deal.

I'm going to rma the board this or next week. :cry:

Now i wan't to go for AM2. But i cant find a nice Crossfire board for AM2 :banghead:

ny_driver · Jan 13, 2007

well.. I am back up on the old computer...FINALLY :eek:

I think first I will try the repair zekrahminator mentionedand if it doesn't work, I'll reformat and reinstall.

I can reinstall all of my 4 games. and re-d/l anything I had....all my gpl tracks are on disk I think

Only takes a few minutes to replace the mobo. :rolleyes:

The ASUS M2R32-MVP gets some great reviews, and overclocks very well. DFI and MSI also make pretty good Crossfire boards for AM2. Just avoid the ECS KA3 MVP. Trust me. lol
