Hey Guys....
I am currently building a PC with a new mobo, and I currently have WinXP on my current IDD, which I was going to hook up in the new pc. Anywho, I was hoping to get your thoughts on the feasibility of installing a new mobo without re-installing WinXP? I heard a lot of bad things about not re-installing, but I have everything I want/need on my current IDD, that it would be a real pain if I have to reinstall XP, then all the apps, games I currently have on the IDD. The one thing I did hear was that if I eliminate the Enum Folder in the Registry (under Local Settings), that upon reboot Windows would automatically detect the new settings with the mobo.
Anywho, if it makes sense, I will definately reinstall, but just wanted your feedback. Your suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
