Help!! New motherboard, new problem
I just took out my Soyo Dragon Plus! and replaced it with a Asus A7N8X-X. I also upgraded to a Athlon XP 2000+. When I boot up with just 1 HD my PC hangs at "Verifying DMI pool data..." When I boot with 2 of my drives hooked up it goes past the DMI pool stuff and tells me NTDLR is missing. I tried to go into the repair console on the XP CD and fix my master boot record, but that didn't do anything. Help!!
![]() My specs: ![]() Asus A7N8X-X Rev. 2.0 BIOS 1004 Athlon XP2000+ 2 x 512MB DDR2100 GeForce 3 Ti200 @ 475 LiteOn 48x CD Burner Sony 16x DVD (not hooked up) 80 Gig WD SE (Main boot drive) 2 x 40 Gig Antec case w/400watt PS Windows XP Pro w/ all patches and SP1 P.S. If you need more info let me know. |

You will need to reinstall windows. You can reinstall over the previous one, but I personally feel this is an unclean approach.
If you have data on the old harddrive that you must recover, you should install over the OS so it is bootable, back up the data, and start over fresh. This is why having your OS and Data HD separate is a good idea. ![]()
