Here's my situation. I have an ABIT KD7 motherboard and
an Athlon XP 2400+ processor. I bought a 2600+ to upgrade
a little. The computer did not like the 2600, even though
it is supposed to support it. I attempted a flash bios
update, and now the computer does not boot at all. No
vido bios, no memory count, no error beep codes. The
drives all get power, and that's where it stops.

I bought an ASUS A7N8X-X motherboard to try and get
things back up and going again. The real problem I have
is that the VIA KT400 IDE Drivers are installed in my
Windows XP. The new board has the nVidia chipset now, and
I get the "inaccessible boot device" blue screen. Is
there a way I can get into my hard drive and remove the
drivers from XP without having to reinstall the OS? Can
something be done from the recovery console to remove the
ide driver and get the machine to boot?
