Post subject: New system won't boot windows.

I recently purchaced a new motherboard, memory and processor. I have
replaced these things in other computers of mine before and windows xp had
always just accepted it and kept on moving. So this is the scenario:
(sorry, it is a bit long, I want to be thorough)
I unhooked everything from my old computer, removed the board from the
chassis, put the new board in, new memory, new processor, heating system,
etc, reattached the cables in the same order (primary master, slave,
secondary slave, power to everything, few other things such as a cable going
from my front panel audigy to it's PCI card, etc), and loaded. Well, it did
load, first try. Came up, I immediately entered bios, checked the system
configuration, and it found everything it was supposed to find, it found all
of the IDE drive, identified the new memory, and the new ram. So I
continued on and let it attempt to boot windows. It passes the "verifying
DMI" stage, screen goes blank (usually this is when it loads the windows
splash screen, I'm pretty sure), and then the computer resets. I repeated
this procedure about 15 times to make sure it was reoccuring. I also
attempted to boot into the three versions of safemode, all of which amount
to the same effect as loading windows.. resetting.
Did switching motherboards on windows some how move windows entry point or
something similar? Anyone know a fix, besides running the "repair" on the
windows CD which re-installs windows (I know it leaves all of the data on
the disk and just rewrites files, and then reruns setup, but there are
multiple reasons I would rather not do that).
Thanks for reading, I know it was a long post, looking forward to any help I
can get.

Your problem revolves around the motherboard drivers for the
new board, which aren't there, while the old ones still are.
At this point you either do a repair or put the old board back in
and then delete all the the device drivers for the old mobo.

Why don't you want to run a repair? That's the easiest way of fixing this.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: New system won't boot windows. |

If you change the motherboard in a Windows XP system then you MUST reformat
the harddrive and do a fresh install of XP, otherwise you get ongoing nasty
Registry errors as you have found out.

Now would be a GREAT time to try a LiveCD of Knoppix, that boots from
the CD, runs in RAM! See if it can find all your new resources!
It also will confirm that your new system is AOK! (I will be checking
back, to see if you encountered any error messages).

Two main reasons - I no longer have my windows key, and I have absolutely no
idea what my admin password was.. it requires it to do the "repair".<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: New system won't boot windows. |

Having problems with a boot disk. I used another computer to make a boot
disk.. it was a windows xp home computer, but the OS on the computer I'm
trying to boot is a windows xp pro.. would the boot disk be a problem? The
computer won't boot fromt he disk, it just gives an invalid disk error when
it attempts to read it. Ideas?

Download keyfinder from:

it will tell you your windows key.

Sorry - on re-reading I see than you cannot boot into windows, which is, of
course necessary to use keyfinder.

Will let you reset your administrator password. You might also want to get
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/" target="_blank">http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/</a>
and put it on a cd. Tons of useful tools, including NT Password/registry
tool listed above on a self booting CD.

I know XP has an NT base on it, but will the NT Password/registry tool in
that program work for windows xp pro? So far, that's my best bet.. boy I'm
lucky I have lots of computers and cd writers to make boot disks with! Off
to work.. just finished my last class for my associates degree this morning!
Sorry, that was off topic, but I would rather be here working on this
computer then heading off to work right now. Thanks again for the help,
everyone.

If I was to plug my old motherboard back in and get everything nominal on
the previous settings, how would I go about loading the new settings? I
couldn't just remove all the motherboard drivers and install the new ones
while it's still on the old one, could I? Or do I remove the, install the
new ones, and the settings don't take effect until the next time you boot..
so I then shut down, flip out the board to the new one and then load with
the new settings?..
Really, off to work with me now, looking forward to replies, thanks again,

Works with XP Pro. There are some limitations, but nothing you are likely
to run into. Your best bet, the one that always works for me, is to use the
program to clear the admin password. Once you get everything working, do a
new admin password. Also, by default on XP (pro or home) the administrator
account has no password. They hid the administrator account from the logon
menu, and hope that no one notices it.

If you re-install the old board, you merely download and save
to disk the new drivers. Delete the old stuff close down, install
new board and let xp discover the new hardware.
