[pchelpers] Re: Need a diagnosis

There is a thing to look out for on the new board and that is the chipset.
If you are going to have an AMD processor the majority of the time the
chipset will be "VIA" and if you have a Pentium processor they will most
likely be an "INTEL" chipset. As long as you know the type of chipset you
have on your board what I have done in the past is remove the other chipset
that is on the "SYSTEM" heading in the Device Manager and that should be ok
and any other headings that relate to the old board. It might also be
advantageous to do this in Safe Mode.

All the best

Nigel

Thanks, Billy, but I thought you could not take a HD out of one system and
put it into another without problems.  I know there has been some
discussion about this before, but not needing the info at the time, it
escapes me now.  However, I think there is a way.
