Hey guys, need some quick help. I have to swap out motherboards today so STEvil dosn't come down here to calgary and take me behind the wood shed and :slapass: :slapass: me:D for not sending him my motherboard in time:D
Out of the kindness of his heart he traded me motherboards straight across for his DFI LanParty UT NF3 250Gb so I will now have the old new machine I've always wanted:D :D Not to mention he managed to squeeze it into the standard mail box, Lots of practice thses guys have at shipping gear around the world, nice Job STEvil:toast: Couple that with the s754 3700+ Mike047 sent me wow you guys are too much thanks a million!!
Anyways....... I had a question: will I be able to boot right back into windows after I do this and at the most have to re-activate by phone?, or could I take an image with norton Ghost re-install windows then load that old image (from the old set-up) and image that back to my new install?
If I could get away with booting back to windows that would be awsome, my motherboard is an Asus K8n (not the -E Deluxe) I am running Nvraid with two 80Gb maxtor sata II drives in raid 0, so I was thinking I might be able to get into the Lanparty's bios and turn on all the raid ect and get away without the need to reload windows drivers and a fresh install.
Any Guidance would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to get going on this assap so I can get my old MB off to stevil.
EDIT: Oh forgot to ask, can i take a back up of all my programs even installed ones with norton ghost, and if I have to do a fresh install would I be able to use ghost to put back everything onto the fresh install, I have never done this and seing how I am pressed for time I had to resort to asking be cause I really dont know.
