Re: Changing Motherboard, Recognize new hardware.

If you can't do a Repair or In-Place upgrade your choices are limited.
One workaround ( Not elegant ) is to change the Mass Storage driver
to a Generic type ( Not Intel/VIA/nVidida ) before making the MB
changeover. XP has a Generic IDE Dual Channel Controller driver
that works on most all Chipset Motherboards. Unfortunately, if you've
already made the change over that process won't help much.

I'm trying to change a bad motherboard - from Asus to Intel (865pe).

The computer boots but the drivers for the new motherboard are all
different.

I don't remember how I did it when I changed my office PC from an AMD
processor to P4 a year or so back, but it seemed like I just selected
"REPAIR" after booting from the Windows XP disc & it took care of
everything.

I'd just reinstall XP but it would cause a file w/ database info to be
displaced & won't work (I know this from experience).

So... my question is how can I select "REPAIR" and get beyond the command
prompt?

Thanks in advance
