Old hard drive reaction to new mobo?

[Slowhand]

It is that!!!! Sweet. Also liberating. I do wish fine humans would stop apologizing for learning things they did not know. That is the nucleus of the journey for all of us, and something to be celebrated, not apologized for.

Very well said! I will now start enjoying the journey.
Thx, Virgorising :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: We should all be encouraged to enjoy learning, and not be afraid to be wrong. You'll always remember the things you do wrong, the things you do right are easier to forget.

On that note, when I swap out motherboards, especially between platforms (ie Intel to AMD, or old Intel to new Intel, etc..) I prefer to reload.

I have one of these around:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16812232002

It comes in handly for all sorts of stuff. Hooking up internal drives via USB for quick data recovery.

Not to mention, it is indigenous in our engineering! ChildLIKE....not childISH.

Let all of life be just like when you are letting characters gestate in yr fiction writing! DANCE. (I am published both in fiction and exposition, but I now only write exposition.)

YEP....can't be thrilled in the moment by the organic learning journey if we are stuck in the unwitting, self created, artificial shoulds and oughts.

If by this you mean do a clean install, that is the preferable strategy. I just despise clean installs and do everything possible to avoid them. Sad, but true. But, all my boards are intel anyhow.

What do you despise about clean installs? That made me chuckle a little, thanks for that

Well, I am in no way a perfect human. It's just the time they take. I just hate it. Even when I set up this new/used system, I hated all of it. I know.....sad, but it's true.:|

I never mind doing repairs.....I kinda enjoy them. I am the essence of patient in many ways, but, in this, I think I have some kinda character flaw re clean installs.

Actually, I mind less doing them for others than I do in my own systems. I don't understand all of this yet.

Edit: I just remembered, other day, in the Big Hole in IE!!! thread, when the patch arrived, some guy here proudly said he hated rebooting. I am not making this up. So, in my little character flaw, I could be worse than I am, right?

Thanks for the encouragement and the link. Will study it more to understand it better. :thumbsup:

Not at all. I've never even studied psychology, so I don't really know what Freud was all about. Just picked him for the sake of the joke. :sneaky:

I have done extensive psychiatric studies but only for specific illnesses. But, that's a different thing altogether.

Sol good.

Wow. Not to indulge off topic, but is petulance re clean installs in the DSM???:sneaky:

I also won't vacuum unless I can dance while doing it. Pretty sure thas a related disorder.() It's a SYNDROME.

Okay Slowhand, Here is how you can take an existing XP hard drive and move it to a different system. I have never had this fail!

In regedit find this key :

HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG > SYSTEM > CURRENTCONTROLSET > ENUM

You simply Delete the entire ENUM key close regedit and shutdown your PC right there and move the HDD to you new Rig. Boot the system. When Windows begins to load it will start detecting your new hardware and build your new hardware profiles ( this may take more than one restart of the OS) .
I hope this helps you.

When it says to delete the entire ENUM key, that includes the original folder ENUM!

Keep us informed man.

Only jus saw this....THIS.....is brilliant!!!!!
