Can you replace mobo/processor in WIn2k without a format of HDD?

[Rooster286]

Or is it required when I put in my new P3850/100mhzFSB and ASUS CUSL2-C FCPGA ATX ATA100 133FSB??? I would like to save the pain of reinstalling EVERYTHING, but am not sure if it can be done, help is appreciated!

Thanks!

if you're using the same chipset on the mobo's it will prolly work..always best to do a clean install though

Going from a Intel 440BX2 chipset to a 815 chipset....

From BX to KT133A. Didn't work for me. 🙁

you probably wont have...i went from a via to an intel 820 and i didnt have to but i did it anyways so YMMV

I doubt it......I had to reinstall when I copied my stuff over to a new HDD - I seriously doubt it will work with a whole new motherboard. Although you can definitely try.

I upgraded from my EpoxSuper7 & K6-2 350 to an Epox 8KTA3 & Tbird 850 @ 1gigahertz and I didnt have to format. Windows2k made me reboot a few times but after that its been running smoothly without a hitch.

You can probaly do it but the headache involed is at times equal to the headache you get when reinstalling everything.
