Re: Replacing motherboard - need to reinstall OS and Drivers?

What I do is uninstall any vendor specific motherboard drivers and software to force windows to use the default generic drivers.

Then I install the new motherboard and the new motherboard drivers and software.

It works the vast majority of the time.

I just did this a few months ago and it worked out fine. I didn't have to repair XP or anything, just install all the new drivers.
