I just got a new motherboard and i put all of my original crap on it! I figured when i boot i would get an error message b/c of wrong drivers etc! Is there anything i can do to load this hard drive because i have so much stuff on it i dont want to lose! Thanks Nerd
 
When you first boot up it should start the autodiscovery of all the new compenents. As long as you have the driver disk for the new motherboard, pop that in and let the plug and play take over.

You may still have to do quite a bit of searching and "tweaking" to get the system happy and stable but the initial wave of prompts shouldn't slow you down to much.
 
it didnt start the autodiscrecovery though what happens is when it first starts to boot it will ask me if i want to load windows in safe mode etc! When i boot it in last good configuration i get he blue screen of death! And when i boot it in safe mode it loads and restarts and goes back too which mode id like to boot in?
