| 868630 | 2010-03-20 05:27:00 | What works short of a complete reinstall? Should I remove all MB drivers first, or try a Startup Repair after swapping the board? Anyone had to do this yet? |

| 868631 | 2010-03-20 05:58:00 | The One I did was very simple (One workshop PC) changed board, booted - it located and found some drivers, other I installed from gigabyte. ( both boards were gigabytes, different models) One was socket 478 - new 775. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 868633 | 2010-03-20 06:49:00 | Yes I'm inclined to think it will just update drivers. However it doesn't and throws a hissy then I'm stuffed, right? | pctek (84) | ||
| 868634 | 2010-03-20 07:11:00 | As long as it has the NIC drivers and Internet access you should be OK - Win7 will just download the required drivers. | jwil1 (65) | ||

| 868637 | 2010-03-20 09:22:00 | No idea if This program (www.nirmaltv.com) works or not, but if the PC is bootable, may pay to rip out the drivers that are likely to cause problems beforehand. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 868638 | 2010-03-20 19:31:00 | what happens? define "throws a hissy" I don't know not having tried it . But it may BSOD over drivers . And there are 2 repair options (that I also haven't tried), Repair Install from within Windows (totally useless if it does BSOD), and Startup Repair which from what I have read may or may not help . Why couldn't they just leave it how it was, good old XP Repair Installs . . . . . . . . . . Yes, I thought maybe remove drivers first Wainui, I was going to do it manually, I'll see if that utility works . . . . . . |
