re: Question about 'How do I upgrade my motherboard in Windows 2000/XP?' Saturday, January 10, 2004 at 1:30 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Phil (1 messages posted) Are you getting an INVALID_BOOT_DEVICE message during the boot? If so, put the old motherboard back, boot up into windows and go into Control Panel->System->Device Manager and then select the IDE Controller (not primary or secondary but the main driver) then change it from whatever it is to the generic IDE controller. This will remove the specific motherboard drivers from the equation and make the drive bootable on any motherboard. It will work after this.
