Removing motherboard drivers for new build

[jpbg]

How do i completely uninstall a motherboards driver? Im planning on putting in a new board.

You didn't state what OS you are using....But...
It's a better idea to simply reinstall the OS once you have the new motherboard installed, it may also be quicker than uninstalling drivers and then watching the OS have a heart attack when it finds out there's a new motherboard.
Just make sure you back up everything that's important first.

i got xp pro we los tor os disk so its and i don;t want to get another os yet

If you don't have your original XP Disk it my pay to make a backup image of you current install before you start changing things.

run sysprep and reseal it. that will rid ur computer of drivers and then u can reinstall them

You can use acronis universal restore if you plan to transfer your OS to the new mobo. That way it will avoid a kernel heartattack so to speak.
