I tried your suggestion of rebooting in safe mode and then deleting
device drivers, but met with no success. Here is what I did. I put a
clone of the drive in the old setup and booted as normal. I then went
to device manager and began removing any devices that seemed motherboard
specific. Several removed with no problems (USB, Parallel Port, etc.),
but when I tried to remove the important ones (CPU to PCI bridge, PCI to
AGP bridge or PCI Busmaster IDE controller) the computer immediately
crashed.
When I rebooted with the old motherboard, Win2K just rebuilt itself with
the old drivers as if nothing had happened. If instead, I moved the
disk to the new motherboard, then Win2K never got past the first bladk &
white progress bar during boot. I have tried this several times
removing various "important" devices as the last one before the crash,
but have had the same bad luck with each.
Did I follow the procedure you intended? Any other ideas?
