New MOBO in an E-machine?

Would I accomplish the same thing if I PRE-loaded the drivers for the new board and video card on to the harddrive before I swapped the mobo out, or would that just confuse things further?

I suppose theres always a chance that could work but I'm thinking the drivers wouldn't install because the required hardware isn't present.

We talked about that too, but I was such a giant exposed nerve after yesterday thinking I had lost her HD, that I think I will just step back and take a break for awhile.

You know, you have a few successes at this and you let yourself get cocky thinking that it's so easy. And then here comes the 2x4 to the forehead......

The motherboard is the last piece of hardware you want to atempt to replace without doing a format and reinstall of windows.
