press any key to reboot during boot process

[khamrick]

I switched all my cards and drives to a new motherboard. During boot, it goes trrough the memory check OK, then displays the screen listing installed devices and interrupts used. It lists both my hard drives, but I'm not sure if my CMOS setup was correct for the drives. After this screen goes away, it tells me to press any key to reboot. This sequence repeats over and over.

I put all parts back on original motherboard and all works good.

I did notice that with my old motherboard, the CMOS setup for both hard drives is set to AUTO. I will retry the new motherboard tonight and make sure the hard drives are setup as AUTO in the CMOS setup.

In the mean time...does anyone know why I may be getting this message? It never seems to get to WIN95 on my hard drive.

The problem is all the old drivers for your motherboard and it's resources are still in windows registry. You need to remove them, transfer the hardware, then let them reinstall.
To do this, boot to safe mode on your OLD motherboard, and remove EVERYTHING in device manager.
Transfer the hardware, then upon startup, everything should reinstall, with about 10 restarts... Cheers,
