Hello,
I have an old hard drive that I cannot wipe or alter and I recently replaced all the parts for the computer (mobo, cpu, psu, gpu, cd drive). I have windows XP installed on it and sensitive information on the hard drive.
1. Is there anything special I will have to do to make sure the parts are recognized and running smoothly with the old hard drive?
2. Can I simply put the new mobo CD in and let it do the work like on a fresh build?
3. Will the old mobo and gpu drivers interfere with installing the new drivers?
4. What do you all recommend so that all I have to do is delete(is it possible?) the old hardware software and install the new hardware software?
Thanks!
