A motherboard replacement with a chipset switch over won't boot.
Reason being, the Mass Storage controller driver won't mate up.
It will try to start the SiS driver, and not a Via. A repair install is
the preferred way to correct this, by re-enumerating all devices.
There is a work around of changing to a default/generic IDE/ATAPI
driver before the switch. However, the Repair install is still best.
