Was I supposed to do this?

[aberdeen5]

I just reformated my HD because I'm installing a new mobo tomorrow and now its installing windows..was I supposed to install windows?? will I need to reformat again? If I'm not supposed to install windows how do I stop the step up from doing it?

install new mobo, then install windows
you will have to install it over with your new mobo

So it wont mess up my mobo or anything? ..I just have to reinstall it tomorrow?

 

[ShadowBlade]

no, windows will get all pissed and not boot b/c it doesnt know what to do with the new chipset
all you did was waste your time by installing it the first time, wont hurt anything

oh..just one more question...tomorrow when I start up my rig all I have to do is set the bios to boot from the cd right?
