how to replace motherboards without loosing installed XP or 2000.
Somebody out there must have figured out a reliable method of replacing a dead motherboard without loosing installed XP or 2000. Preferably a way that doesn’t include matching the old motherboard (or its chipset). I am tired of seeing the “blue screen of death” or the “NT loader not found” message. SOMEBODY HELP!
