Re: Moving Windows XP installation to new mainboard


Thanks for your hints.

However, my wish was to have some simpler procedure.
I wish also don't get lost all personalizations (os and applications) -
also by applying the repair installation.
As mentioned in the thread starting mail some hardware elements
are identical.
North- and south bridge are the exceptions.

From the former one the agp controller at least is in use.
From the latter one the usb controller/hub.

How about firts running the system from old board, disabling/uninstalling
drivers of all hardware not available on new board. Then starting from
new board ?

Which hardware components else built-in into the bridges are critical
in such situation and to be checked in prior ?

My board got damaged. It is a permanent damage.
My goal is to move this windows installation to new board
without having to reinstall it.

Warranty is over.
However, the producer is offering a replacement.

Replacement offer is also for Pentium 4 family, supporting FSB up to
800MHz.
It has exact the same SATA controller - good for my intention.
Although as a separate chip on the board. Not integrated in the south
bridge
as on my damaged board.
LAN, FireWire and Audio controllers are also the identic.

Only the north and south bridges are different: ATI 9100 GPI + ATI IXP 150
instead of SiS 655TX + SiS 964.

1. How smooth can be the migrate process in this situation ?
Advantage - same SATA controllers - I guess I should expect any probs in
this context.
2. But, how about the AGP controller ? North bridges are different.
3. Can this be a problematic point ?

4. Any point else to be checked before starting the migration ?

It is hard to get P4S800D-E Deluxe as a second hand.
5. Do you know any good source for a search ?
