i used information from this post - http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...?catid=34&threadid=1688660&STARTPAGE=2

ok, i went ahead and did do the sysrep way just to learn it and checked the mini-setup, pnp and also the nosidgen. i booted up loaded the newest bios for my board and all appeared to go ok. then windows just restarted without getting past the boot screen. the next time it asked me if i wanted to start in safe mode so did. during the safe start up i get a message that states "Press ESC to cancel loading SPTD.sys" then asdfjkd9.sys and then a347bus.sys. if i let safe mode start up all the way i just get a little window that says "the system is not fully installed. please run setup again" with just an ok button. if i hit ok, it starts all over again and just stays in this loop.

the hardware i went from was the rig in my sig wit ht turned off to a nf3/opteron 144 setup. i transfered over my scsi card, but both the optical drive and storage hdd are now on different controllers if that matters.

i still have an image if i need to restore from it but if possible i would like to do it all in the new rig since i changed cases too.

thanks in advance for the assistance,
bob
