won't work eh?
MOST of the time I switch new mobos I end up keeping my OS
a lot more than 50% of the time it's successful and I keep my existing operating system.. works like a charm right now. the current win2k install i am on has gone from a P4 2.4 / Epox 845pe mobo to an XP2500+ / Soltek NForce2 mobo and working sweet.
