I have been rebuilding my computer using all the old parts except for a new MOBO ASROCK 4coredual -VSTA and new Core2Duo E6600. I just turned on the machine for the first time - expecting it to possibly burst into smoke and flames, but most probably to attempt to boot up off my old Hdd which has WindowsXp installed and then to tell me to go away.BUT it booted into Windows!!!!!!It wasn't too happy because it started saying that it had found new hardware and wanted to install drivers - so I quickly turned it off. I had intended to re-format the Hdd and reinstall everything.But -- I have never experienced this before and have always re-formatted and re-installed everything.What do I do now?? Where do I start? I guess that I could install the motherboard drivers that came with the MOBO and see how it all makes out? It would be much easier than reinstalling everything.Any advice pleaseBarry

Yes you can, but it usually doesn't work out as nice as a clean install. By all means give it a shot, because sometimes it works just as well and there is not much time lost trying!Gary
