no it's a different board so the bios got to be different cuz don't they use all their own setups for each manufacturer?
The guy at the shop said to ghost it by booting off the norton ghost disk. then change the board, then reboot immediately into win xp disk and go into repair not repair console I think it was he said. He said let it do it's thing and it may work but if not then I got the ghosted d drive to go back to on the old board for now to keep me up n running. He didnt sound too confident though that this was going to fix my problems-can't go into users to see anything it crashes right away, also avg has been removed and reinstalled 2 times now on this and it has spurious emmissions when programs try to access the net etc. Does wierd stuff. Intermittent svcproc error that doesn't let you open or close any programs...traced one to avg, reinstalled etc and now it does it sometimes on eudora email. It all goes back to unplugging that network cable. That is when all these problems started and it was some kind of funky boot that windows went into where it would give you a small windows xp logo and blue screen and that was it. You could reboot it 10 times and it would do 10 different things. Still errors intermittently and I have to re-boot. I had problems like this once before and it turned out to be something trying to update online but this is all worse than that now.
I'm going to try this tomorrow I guess. If anyone sees flames on the horizon it's me.
