Is there any way to solve compatibility issues between Intel Centrino & AMD? I took a bad hard drive out the Centrino Dell & installed my AMD HP hard drive from it's failing body into the good body of the Dell. All is peachy except that. I would be super happy.... Jesse:bounce:

The only way to really solve that, since you had the drive in a system with an Intel chipset and now have it installed in a system with an AMD chipset, is to reinstall windows.

There is really no other way to totally eliminate chipset and component driver issues when you've changed from one team to another using the same hard drive. Sometimes it works without issues, but when it doesn't, doing a clean install is about the only option.

The problem isn't installing the correct drivers William. Those are, apparently, already installed, besides which Windows does this automatically as soon as you boot the system with different hardware. Otherwise, it could not be running at all.

And I would certainly not recommend anybody to use Vista drivers in Windows 7 unless there simply WERE no Windows 7 drivers due to the age of the hardware.

The problem is using a windows installation that was previously for a different motherboard, Intel chipset, for an entirely different system with an AMD chipset. Sometimes it works, other times it MUST be reinstalled because there are conflicts between the installed previous drivers for the storage controller, chipset and graphics drivers that no amount of installing new drivers ever resolves. It is MUCH faster and WAY less frustrating to simply do a clean install of Windows and be done with it.

Yes, he does. Just because the correct drivers are automatically installed, does not mean that driver or resource conflicts are automatically resolved. You're just being intentionally obtuse now. Or, I guess it's better known as snarky these days. Either way, it's not helpful.

I proposed a sloution that has worked for me many times. Yes it was on older hardware when new drivers couln't be found. The OP didn't specify what Dell, or HP these were. He also didn't specify which drivers had issues.
The problem was described as "non compatible drivers Win 7/64". The solution I proposed is one solution, not the only one, and of course if the correct drivers can be found not the best. Your reply to me stated "Apparently the correct drivers are already installed". You were the one who was being Snarky. My suggestion would be helpful to many people. especially since it isn't obvious, or well known.
I tried being helpful, and you seemed to have a problem with it.

Ok William. I see your point, however, the question:

Is there any way to solve compatibility issues between Intel Centrino & AMD
Click to expand...

Does not seem to have any relevance to your answer:



So I guess on THIS point at least, we'll have to agree to disagree.

Yeah, did that already. Once from a back up and another from a system image. Only the HP was mine, the Dell was something someone was throwing out, I didn't have the pass info or anything. Just wasn't sure if there was a brand of graphics that were universal or a converting app or something.

Ok, so, no you didn't. That's not a clean install. That's just RE-installing (Or restoring from image) the same installation that is the problem in the first place. You need to do a CLEAN install, from nothing. Zero. Nada.

A clean install means there is zilch related to the old installation. No partitions, nothing. Everything gets wiped out.

It is totally new, with no relationship to any previous installation or system hardware. That is what you likely need to do. Otherwise, you are simply swapping one version of your problem for another exact version of it.

Do you HAVE a VALID Windows license or activation key for ANY version of Windows?
