Re: Replace MB & Processor

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Before you swap the mobo/CPU, uninstall your add-in cards,
printers,scanners, etc. Shutdown and do the parts swap.
Put the XP CD in the drive and boot from the CD. Either set
the boot jumper on the mobo or hope the BIOS is set to boot
from the CD first. If not sure do not connect the hard
drive and turn the computer on and check the BIOS settings.
Do a repair install of the OS in the same location so you
don't create a dual boot.
After the computer has finished and rebooted, reinstall you
cards and devices ONE AT A TIME and reboot. Of curse if you
do disconnect the hard drive, you'll need to reconnect it
after setting the BIOS.
