I've been trying to do this every time i've done a MB swap and need to know if its possible. i get the blue stop error screen each time i try in safe mode debugging etc, is there a way to do this without formatting the hard drive ?
 
im not sure if there is a way, but its always best to do a reformat when switching hardware. most of the stuff on the mobo is probably different so windows is confused since it can't find stuff where it is supposed to be.
