error message after upgrade

QAnyone had this problem? My ex had an old system with XP Pro on it and
decided to upgrade the motherboard and some other items. After I did the
upgrade, I get blue screened with a 0x0000007b message. I can't start it in
safe mode or recovery console. To top it all off, she has lost the cds and
boot disks, so I don't have the product ID, so I can't do a reinstall. My
second drive has XP home on it and recognizes the other drive and shows all
the files, but I can't get access to all the items on the XP Pro side, such
as Office Pro. Any help greatly appreciated.

You'll need to do a repair isntall to get the OS to recognize the new
hardware.
