That's because you need to reinstall windows from scratch. You're trying to boot off a HD with windows pre-installed with AMD drivers from your old system.

i actually got windows to boot up now i changed the hpci to ide mode and some drivers failed. i reinstalled most of them but the ethernet controller and usb controllers wont update/reinstall and i cant connect to the internet without the ethernet controller working. so close!

So you're running the same OS that was previously installed from the old system onto the new system? That's just an accident waiting to happen. You're gonna run into a lot of issues.

You should have backed up your files first before swapping boards. That would've been the smarter move and you wouldn't have run into the issues you're facing now. Hopefully you'll get the data you want to backup before they get corrupted/damaged.

yup only time you really dont need to re-install is for a proc change and gpu change Mobo will always be better if you re-install completely
