Hi guy's-that's extremely pushy to me!!
When I'm installed Windows about 2 years ago.. Im immediately enter to the device manager and change the sata to standard ahci... Because if the mb i'll die, I'm can swap it to another... Not remember exactly ..but u can understand me.. Its guides on the web...
About one month ago, I've swapped my cpu&mb to little faster cpu... And from asus p5vd2 vm(via chipset) to an p35 g.b. ( Intel chips)... All the other h.w. Stay similar.. Just physically not exactly the same brand of gpu card... But the same 9600 model with same kind of memory... Well,actually I'm just put my hdd on another pc...

it's boot perfectly without any issues, and automatically install the drivers from Windows (7)...
Now im bought a second hand 1155 z68 mb w/ g2020 cpu, and when I'm assigned my HDD to the z 68 mb its failed to boot!! I've run already the windows startup eror & even launch an system restore point..and it's steel no booting!!!!!:'( im clear the bios memory and restart.. Still no boot,after that, I'm entered to the bios and disable the audio& usb 3 chips ..cause I'm thinking.. Maybe that's is the culprit?! But sadlyyy, still no boot!!


So what I'm can do now?! I'm really not want to install again Windows...
BTW.. Still have the p35 mb.. So if I'll need to do something at dev. Man. I'll can do that...

You might be able to 'sys prep' the HDD using your old motherboard. I've never done it before so I can't talk you through the process but it removes the licenses so you have to enter it again when you swap the mobo.

Windows is tied to the motherboard. Sometimes you can swap motherboards to a similar model without problems, but not to another chipset. If you have the retail version you can install another motherboard, but if you have the OEM version you cannot.

All right,thanks to biza to the help!!! Just wAnt to share.. If at the future someone wil want to that...
How to Swap mobo without Reinstall win: Firstable, u can try to change all the chipset brand to generic /standart ones through the device manager... For ex. All the intel/via/sis at the beginning... Usually u I'll find that at system devices or ide /atapi controllers...U have to update them driver's.. U can find how at some websites.. For me it works at the first mb swap.. Not at the second.. And at that case it was enough to do that just on the ide/atapi... So.. Eventually, I'm read about paragon adaptive restore 2010..so.. Download &burn and run it ( of course.. U have to pray for the computer gods( probably intel and your mb brand..) :-D
