| Hi gang,
I'm thinking of upgrading my system to an Athlon 2 Ghz. I'll be replacing
the cpu, board, and getting a new tower and DDR ram. Everything else I'll be
transferring over. Does anyone know of a method that won't involve
formatting and starting over. I've used a method on 9.x that's worked for
me. By going into the device manager and removing all the entries relating
to the motherboard. When rebooted windows detected and install all the
entries for the new board. I know NT isn't as forgiving, so I was wondering
if there was a similar method I could use. Or would creating a drive image,
reformatting, then restoring the image work?.
If it comes to it I'll bite the bullet and wipe the drive and start over.
But a couple months ago I had major problems, I must have reinstalling
windows 3-4 times within a week. So if I can avoid it, or at least speed up
the process I'd prefer it.
Any suggestions would be great.
Cheers
Rick
