Motherboard upgrade
I am upgrading from A7v133 to A7n8x-e Deluxe , Currently
"C" drive is plugged into Pri IDE and has Win ME on it... "D" is plugged into Pri IDE (second connector) storage only "E" is plugged into Pri ATA 100 Port and has Win XP on it "F" is a DVDRW drive and is plugged into Sec ATA 100 Port This is a multi boot system with Win ME being the origional OS I install WIN XP on a new drive "e" and it is the only OS I use anymore. When i connect these drives to the new motherboard WIN XP wont boot.....WIN ME still will but like I said I never use it. I connected the drives in the new mobo like this C and D was plugged into PRI IDE E and F was plugged into SEC IDE when multi boot comes up if you select Start normally it runs for about 30 secs then reboots on its own if you run it in safe mode it will load about 25-30 drivers then reboot on its own....as i said it will run WIN ME normally. Please advise on how to get this up and running |

Put in the XP CD and boot from it. When it boots select repair from the
options. It will repair XP and then it should work. Homer "Jay" wrote in message ... I am upgrading from A7v133 to A7n8x-e Deluxe , Currently "C" drive is plugged into Pri IDE and has Win ME on it...

An A7N8X family board works best if the memory and the CPU run in sync (at the same speed - rather than "By SPD"). You shouldn't try booting a real OS until you are sure the basic computer is healthy, and running memtest86 with zero errors will tell you that. Then you can do a repair install if you want, or if it is still needed. HTH, Paul "Homer" wrote in message .cable.rogers.com... Put in the XP CD and boot from it.

I think their idea is, installing the standard Microsoft IDE driver might make it possible for the new motherboard to boot. I guess if a custom IDE driver is installed on the disk before the transition, that is why the first attempt to boot dies. http://www.abxzone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64584 (full thread) http://www.abxzone.com/forums/showpo...34&postcount=9 (post) My advice is, if you are going to attempt this, backup your original drive first, so you have a way of getting back to a stable config with your old system. I've migrated a few times, in one case using a new "Hardware Profile" that comes up during boot, but don't remember enough of the details to do it justice. I also don't have WinXP, as I hate activation and bought a copy of Win2K instead. If you buy a new drive to go with the new board, you can use it to make a safety backup before the change, and later, when everything is looking stable, the extra drive becomes your backup device.
