switching mobos=error

any ways i was switching out my kx7-333-r replacing it with my nf7-s
but i get the booting error thingy, and ive heard ur supposed to do a repair installlation, but it isnt working i still get those inacessable booting device blue screen.....btw its win2k with sp4...sooo any way to boot in to the os with out formating or reinstalling win 2k its a real pain to reinstall every thing. im also using the ide conectors on the mobo, not the sata.

never mind, i now tried repair installation instead off reparing with the recovery thingy so its all good now.

You will be much better off with a nice clean format/reinstall in the long run...

ya thats true...i found alot of errors after doing the repair installation...plus cs keeps crashing lol

Or you can do this.

lol that looks like a much better way of doing things thx for the post
