Changing Mother boards
« on: August 28, 2002, 10:33:47 AM »
I had an Asus mother boar with the 277 chipset, I know purchased an Gigabyte board with the 333 chipset dual bios.  I have windows Xp.  I don\'t want to reload my windows xp and have to reinstall all of mine programs is there a way I can keep my curent programs and not have to reload windows xp.  I get a blue screen and it wont let me get any farther to boot to Windows Xp.  Thanks to everyone for help.

Can you get it to boot into safe mode?  If so, do that, and try reinstalling WinXP from there (choose to do an upgrade, not a clean install).  If not, then try booting from the CD and choose to repair your installation.  Basically it\'s the same as upgrading WinXP over top of itself.  That should fix the problem.
