Not really that but more that, when you change major components in a system, you need to reinstall the OSLast night I finally figured it out. I was replacing only the motherboard so the hard drive which had Win XP Pro on it was not liking the new motherboard. I guess they have a secret code embedded in the software somewhere...geez. Anyway, I reinstalled Win XP Pro as a repair and all my files were fine and everything worked.
Not a problem, glad to helpI sure appreciate your taking the time to help me out though. Thanks

Yeah i know but in general you do http://www.computerforum.com/showthread.php?t=4189 even amoung ASUS, going from say A7V8X-X to A7N8X-X requires it or you get BSODedActually you don't, but it makes things a lot smoother
Generically true with the exception of their new Socket939 boards as well as the engineering marvel/novalty of AGP Express.do yourself a favour, dont ever get a PC chips board again, or anything else made by or even affiliated with ECS. they make garbage.
