re: changing motherboard Friday, October 28, 2005 at 5:48 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Johnb33 (2283 messages posted) You will have to do a repair installation of XP. You just can't take a hard drive out of one system and put in into another one with a different motherboard without doing a repair install. Put your xp cd in and press r for repair installation when it asks you. On Friday, October 28, 2005 at 4:46 am, errol wrote: >my motherboard (a soyo dragon) recently got damaged.
