Component Swap (Mobo)

[imported_inspire]

Built a new box, and now I'm RMA'ing the mobo (see sig) for something different. Will I be able to run the same copy of XP Pro or will I need a reinstall? Thanks.

You would need to do either a Repair Install or if
the rig is brand new and you haven't yet loaded
all your programs & data files, just install again
from the beginning. You may need to call Microsoft
to Activate IF you had already activated the first
install ... and sometimes, maybe not need to call.
If you do have to, just say the mobo was bad

Thanks, bruceb. I'd already loaded a lot of stuff on, so I'll go the repair install route.
