Reinstall Win2k after MB update

[Guest]

I have replaced my Intel MB with an Athlon DDR. How can I
reinstall Win2k through the "repair" option so the HAL is
redefined and my applications are recognized?

A reference to some documentation on the repair options in
the Win2k installation program would probably lead me to
the answer.

See the following article: "How to Move a Windows 2000 Installation to Different Hardware"

The NTbackup method described in that article may be OK
for moving to a bigger drive, but the HAL must be the same
for the old and the new system. In this case the HAL
will be different because the MB/chipset are changed.

I think an installation of the OS as though it were an
upgrade would produce the result I am looking for.

I recommend that you back up essential data and files and just do a reinstall. You'll be happier in the long run.

I'd go with the article the msft guy posted. That's about the only way you're going to get around a reformat/reinstall.

It takes an hour to re-install, i would do that and have a more stable installation. I read through the Microsoft page by the time i got halfway through it i could of had it re-installed
