you need a new copy of windows, since youcould take a hdd out of a computer and put it in a new onee or copy it onto another hddfor a diff computer
ok so. Lets straighten everything out. I have a A8N5X mobo, I'm switching it out for a ASUS M2N mobo. I currently have 2 HDDs. 1 is my 20gb master the other a 80gb slave. Windows XP pro is installed on the 20gb master, if i were to just switch out the mobos, put in my new processor and memory. should the OS still work after i use the mobo boot disc and set up its bios?
ya that should work no problem. There might however maybe some things that were featured in ur previous chipset mobo that wont be recongized n will say something like "such n such is not working, please report to Windows etc etc."
for example, when the previous mobo i had for a week gave me something called Fire daemon. After i changed mobo n CPU to the current ones i have now, the message come up almost everytime i turned on my computer. **** i dont even know what the Fire Daemon thing is to this day, heck, ive been without my computer since Feb!

ur crazy dude, he doesnt need a new copy of windows, he says that he is just changing his mobo, CPU, n RAM.
Oh thank god, i hope you're right. i really don't want to have to spend $200+ on getting a new copy of XP pro or Vista
whoa whoa time out!!...............u saying that anytime anyone switches mobos, CPUs, n RAM, the OS needs to be reformated?
that doesnt make sense. My previous mobo was just switched out because the mobo didnt fulfill my desire at the time from iGamez *out of business for almost a year now*. I had no problems n im sure the OS didnt need to be reformated.
