want to swap mobos to the pcie one. both have nvidia drivers. whats best way
to do this and save winxp. Thanks
 
although the boards are very close and the nvidia drivers are identicle
version, the poccess can go wrong. In case it does just do a repair install
of XP. You will be on the fringe of a RE activation of XP. IOW you may have
to or not.

I tried to make a boot disk with sp2 but it wont boot so all i have is old
xp without sps and it probably wont work for a repair if I need it.

Last time I switched mobos,I went into device manager and deleted all mobo
hardware including IDE ,floppy references. Also deleted all mobo drivers.In
the bios set to default.Worked fine.I can't guarantee it always works
though. It did take awhile to reinsatll everything afterwards though.Maybe 2
hours.
 
had to reg win again but its good.

slipstream all the drivers and updates of windows into the windows
installation, then burn it to disc. once burnt you have to test whether the
disc works by inserting into the dvd/cd-rom drive and see whether it runs.
if it runs then re-install windows with the new mobo in place, because the
mobo is different from the original end of story
