I would agree except in this case he has changed out the motherboard and it has a
different IDE controller on it. That alone will cause a blue screen or some other
fault that will shut down the machine immediately. A blanket statement of 8 HDWE
changes isn't exactly correct, depending on the hardware involved. If you change
out a motherboard with that of a board with a different IDE controller, you will
blue screen immediately at the very least or trigger a warning about windows shutting
down your machine to prevent damage if you try to start up.. So much for 8 hardware
changes.. I work on all different brands of machines, especially those of third
party builders and swapping motherboards with different chipsets in them "ALWAYS"
causes problems... There is no easy way to repair the XP install 100% of the time
even with the experts of MS trying to guide you through it. It's easier to reinstall
and restore the customers data. Just my experience.. C K
