Re: Windows XP hardware upgrade

Hi

If you have replaced the mobo, then you will have to perform a 'Repair'
install of XP. Please have a look at the following article by Michael
Stevens:

"How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install"

Hello All,
I have just upgraded my PC with a new Motherboard, Processor, and Graphics
card.
I now find that I am unable to start Windows. I have tried to start
Windows
in Safe Mode, but when the system files are loading, I get to the same
point
before the PC reboots.
I have contacted Gigabyte, but they have said that I will have to reload
Windows.
Does anyone have any ideas, as to how to get the PC to a state where I
would be
able to load the drivers for the new motheboard.

Thank, Graham
