Why do you want to restore from a backup? You're changing the board not the hard drive.
Is your new motherboard using the same chipset?
Here's about my curent chipset:
And the mobo I will install is an Asus A7N8X-X.
Ok, I see that you have a AMD chipset now and you want to change to an Nvidia chipset.
My recommendation is to backup any data you want to keep (not nessasarily the whole system) and then try booting up with the new board.
Since you are changing chipsets, the chances are less for Windows to bootup. If it doesn't bootup then format and reinstall Windows.
Thanks VB. You consolidate one more time your position of wise lord in this section
a reinstall should be adequate, neverminding the reformat. not to start a debate here, but i've switched from one brand of chipset to another and reinstalling does the trick-- reformatting is unnecessary.Originally posted by Virtualbody1234@16 November 2003 - 21:09
