Old Drivers On Hard disk Preventing computer from starting.

Alexwhite1998 · Aug 9, 2013

I put my laptop hard drive in my desktop as an experiment and i installed the mobo and graphics card drivers on the hard drive. Now i tried to put it back in my laptop and when i try to start it up i get a blue screen. It boots in safe mode. I installed a program on the computer called driver sweep or something. it was able to recognize the graphics card drivers were no longer being used but i still need to remove the mobo drivers. can someone tell me how to uninstall these? thanks

Not a good experiment. lol. Driver remover programs don't always remove everything and now your harddrive might not have the right drivers on it.

Probably looking at reinstalling your Windows and not doing experiment like that anymore.

Experimentation is a good thing for learning. You will probably never forget this, or that you had to do clean reinstall to fix it.

I would try reinstalling the correct chipset driver in safe mode, it should replace the desktop driver and you can download it from the laptop manufacturer web site or Intel/AMD depending on the chipset.

Then you need to do a clean installation. If you did not get a Windows 7 install disc with your laptop you can download a legitimate iso image to make an install DVD of the exact same version from DIGITAL RIVER, the authorized MS online site. Then activate with your key, which should be on a sticker on your laptop. And don't forget to backup all your data first as everything on the drive will be wiped.
