ok. IF I read your post right, you can't do what you want. The new motherboard and CPU will not boot the windows with a fresh install.

You mean without a fresh install?

But yeah, if you change your motherboard, you need to reinstall.

A fresh install must be done in order to boot with a new motherboard. You'll have less hassles doing the fresh install. You can't image over the old install to the new system, it still won't boot up.

The main idea is he does not want to reinstall, and it will not work. That only works when the 2 boards are very close in design.

Yes. Well not to say that is completely correct.

You can transfer the data, but you will still need to reinstall the program on the new computer. I think there is a migration wizard in XP or something close to help you.
