Default Installing Windows aaargh
Soon, i am going to entirely upgrade my PC, by changing the mobo, CPU, case, and PSU, to an ASROCK PCI-Ex16 AGP8x 939 SATA II, Athlon 64 3000+, and probs 450W PSU. However, I plan to keep both my hard drives, and i have been told that i am going to have to reinstall Windows to cater for all the new hardware. Is there no way to just install all the new drivers on bootup, and do I have to buy a new copy of Windows? The problem is, I don't have the XP disc, so I have no copy other than the one on my Hard Drive. How can I get around this? help pleeeeeease.....

Sorry mate there is no other way, your mobo/CPU may have features that were not included.

If you were to boot up the PC you may have to repair windows, for that you need the XP disk.

They have agp/pci-e mobos but they are not as good as the pci-e only or agp only counterparts from what I hear.

The solution is here: http://nliteos.com/download.html

This program will let you make a bootable disk out of the copy on your harddrive. Not only that but you can integrate service packs, drivers, put in all the info windows asks for when installing (cd-key, region, name, etc.) and windows will install without asking that stuff. Great program.
