WHENEVER you change the motherboard that a harddrive with the OS on it
has been using, then you MUST reformat the harddrive and do a fresh
install of the OS.

Wrong regardless of how often you keep repeating this stupid claim.

Otherwise you can look forward to ongoing Registry errors and data
corruption.

Mindless pig ignorant silly stuff. XP has a repair install for a reason.

It doesn't do any good to keep telling him that Rod. I have been telling him
the same thing for a couple of years. I think this system is on it's 2nd or
3rd MB with the same install of XP Pro with only an uninstall of chipset
drivers and a repair install and reinstalling new drivers........ It may not
work every time, but it will most always work without a problem at all. I
guess he just loves to spend a couple of days reinstalling apps....
