TSGL: Can you HELP???

[HBCANON]

I think you have encountered what I dread to try- Switching motherboards. I have to do it,
but it might entail an entire OS and software re-install. There is a lot on the net about
doing it without the re-install, but nobody agrees on a procedure.   I have worked  in the
mainframe arena for 40 years, and not being able  to drop a new CPU and boards in without
a re-install is simply unheard of.  These toy machines and OS' are way behind in some
areas.

Subject: TSGL: Can you HELP???

Hello all, a friend of mine had a problem after problem with his pc, if it wasnt one thing
it was another, ye get the picture.
I said give me your winxp pro disk and I will reinstall a fresh installation as he had
nothing he wanted backed up. I took his hard drive and hooked it up in my pc, all going
well, installed xp and started installing a few progs like ccleaner, erunt and regseeker. 
Everything was fine until I hooked back up to his pc (it booted fine in my pc). It would
hang on startup and if I selected "Last known config" 
it hung, if I selected "safe mode" it hung at "mup.sys" every time. I have tried
reseaeting the memory, nothing. I tried booting from the cd in his own machine but when it
came to "press F8 to continue" it wouldnt accept but it would when I pressed "Esc to
quit".

Please help resolve my dilemma

Many thanks..
