I had an XFX 760 MB (?) LGA 775, and it crashed, hard. Couldn't get the MB to boot to anything, although it sort of lived, no display and uncertain POST codes.
Got a new LGA2011, Intel 602 dual CPU motherboard
Moved the HD over - which promptly blue screened; even with the same video card, obviously the HAL is SO different and so many MB device drivers have changed.
I can't run 'sysprep' because I can't boot the old motherboard.
Any ideas?
Here's one - what if I used P2V to create a VM of the old hard drive
THEN ran Sysprep on the VM
THEN copied the VM VHD to a physical disk (it's hard to go that way though)
Then used repair to rebuild the O/S?
This was a developers machine, I have SO many pieces of software installed, it'll be a real hassle to reinstall everything. None of it was pirated, so I do have the reinstallation disks, but it's 4+ years old, and I don't look forward to reinstalling all that stuff.
Thoughts?
