Switch from 8INXP to 8KNXP
Hello,
Yes! Regards, Boudewijn "Torben Hansen" wrote in message ... Hi, do I need to reinstall Windows XP if i change my mainboard from 8INXP to 8KNXP. They both habe intel chipsets, so I think it should give no problems if i just switch the mainboards. Did anyone try this / know if it works ? Torben Hansen |

Did anyone try this / know if it works ? Probably. The chipset is different. They may both be Intel, but they are different chipsets. Also, is everything else the same? Same model RAID controller, same LAN chip, and same everything else? Probably not. There are revisions along the way, even if they are the same. |

Torben Hansen I went from an intel brand 845 motherboard to a new gigabyte 81pe1000 865Pe chipset motherboard and I did not have to reinstall windows XP. it runs better now than when I had the intel board. I thought I was going to have to install everything but I haven't had to. And in the device manager the second virtual CPU does show up. |

All you need to do is goto Device Manager on the 8INXP and change the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller from what's listed back to Standard IDE Bus-Mastering Controller so it's not chipset specific and then swap the motherboards and boot from there and then it'll work. Otherwise, if you don't change the IDE controller, you'll get a BSOD. Cheers, Vince |
