I've tried switching hard drives into other systems and always hit the inaccessible boot drive error. Here are some solutions to consider: http://www.windowsreinstall.com/inst...d/problems.htm
I am switching to a Shuttle case/mobo. I am running WinXP SP2.
In old Win98 days, you could simply delete the ENUM folder, swap hardware and when rebooted, Windows would simply auto-detect and have you install new drivers for newly detected hardware. Was also a good way to give your 98 install a "freshen" up from time to time.
1. Under WindowsXP, will this still work?
2. If not, what should I do?
3. What would you do if switching to new mobo? Sound/AGP will stay same.
TIA

If it is too late for that maybe because the motherboard died, then there is another solution:
Insert the Windows CD, but don't let it try to repair the installation! Select new install and then it will find the old Installation and then select repair! Don't get scared when it deletes a lot of files at first....
All you programs will be intact also all your files....You just have to install all drivers again as you would with a fresh install...
Tried it myself with W2K and it is supposed to work with XP also...
