Hello all. I recently acquired a new Gigabyte EP45-UD3P MoBo and I am switching it out for my Gigabyte P35-DS3R. My questions are since I am switching MoBos, am I going to have to reinstall Vista even though it is the same brand build? Secondly, all of my files (music, movies, etc) are on a separate HDD, will I need to transfer them to an external drive and reformat my HDD on the new MoBo? Or will I be able to just plug in the HDD into the new board and the files will be recognized the same? The HDD will the files does not have the OS on it, only data files. Thanks
