| reply to Junorion Re: Replacing motherboard - need to reinstall OS and Drivers?
Here's a trick: 1) Go to Hardware profile manangement. (in W2k it's - Right click My computer/properties/hardware/hardware profiles Similar location for XP.)
2) clone the current profile call it "clone-XFX".
3) Rename the original profile to "original-XFX"
4) Reboot. (cold boot).
5) Windows will prompt you to "select a hardware profile or create a new one." The latter will prompt you for necessary drivers and use the generic where possible. Similar to a new install.  |
