re: changing motherboard Friday, October 28, 2005 at 6:11 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by jbmcmillan (1055 messages posted) Just to clarify that do not press r the first time you are asked that is the recovery console and it won't help you here.Let it it load all setup files as if you are doing a clean install and it will get to a prompt where it detects windows installed and then you have the option of repairing or clean install.press r at this point.I would myself personally just slave the drive on another computer and pull all the files off it that I needed and do a clean install as it prevents any problems in the future.
