I've recently gone from an Asus P5LD2 to a P5B deluxe wifi/ap.
Now Vista refuses to boot, Xp still boots like after the previous 3 mobo changes, but the vista one just BSOD's.
I've just done a repair install, but the problem still exists so I'm now doing a 2nd repair install and it just popped on my screen that this problem cannot be fixed automaticly and something about sending the data to microsoft, I've done this.

Atm typing this on lappy but I want vista back on my own pc, any idea's how to fix vista, it shows the loading bar etc and during that it bsod's at a particular point.
It's odd that vista doesn't adapt to a new mainboard, xp has done this properly for the 4th time:confused:.

Edit: could the vista not recognize the jmicron controller, on wich the vista hdd is and the hdd with xp wich also has the mbr.
It's vista x64 btw.
Any idea how I can ''force loading'' all the drivers from the vista dvd or from xp onto the vista install?
I've tried loading the drivers with the vista recovery setup but I don't think actually copied the jmicron drivers onto the hdd into the vista folder.

Pretty much. You change the motherboard, you format. If you are lucky enough to get it working, it's usually not as reliable or performant as if you'd formatted it in the first place.
 
I'll never format!

No but seriously there must be a way to fix vista, xp has gone through 4 mainboards and still works fine and performs like it should.
The stuff you ay about not being reliable or not performing 100% is pure rubbish (for xp anyhow), I've changed my mainboard a lot of times and pretty much all ''private'' pc's (3) have gone through at least one change without problems.

I'm not willing to spend 48+ hours again on tweaking, installing, configuring a new OS and all the apps that I use.

I think until Vista has SP1 and more it won't be stable.

On the forums someone say you must control how hard you sneeze with vista for a while.

I think he was write!
 
It's not about stable/unstable, it was stable, the problem is to get it to boot, it's acting like xp would on a big mobo change ( xp chickens out too when u go from nvidia/intel to sis or other way around, but nvidia and intel chipsets are 100% compatible in xp) wich is bsod during load screen.

I want to find a way to get it to boot.
 
If you had removed the drivers for the chipset / motherboard before you remove it, and put the new one in, then Vista may have booted....

Can you start it in safe mode?
 
Not that likely - it won't boot because it's drivers for the HDD controller are incorrect. There's not a lot you can do about that before or after you change.

If the drivers get uninstalled before the motherboard is changed, it should work.

Have you tried to put the old mobo back into the computer? Does it boot?

If it's AHCI mode, it's not going to work either way - it's either got the wrong drivers, or no drivers.
 
No I'll never reinstall, tbh if I'm forced to reinstall I won't touch vista again for 2 years or so, not bothered spending 2 days setting it all up again :(.
OLd mobo is sold, although i have 17 boards of the same type still at home, they're for sale, boxed etc I prefer not to touch em.
Tbh If Xp acted so evil like vista with mobo changes, I'd still be on my old p4p800-e deluxe, I'd take a fully configured& ready windows with over 200 apps installed over a faster pc anytime.
At leats there's the trusty XP wich has gone through:
Intel 845
Intel 865p
Intel 875x
Nforce 4 SLI X32 intel version
Intel 945 P
Intel 965p now
And still works fine, performs like it should.
Even my raid 0 Array transferred no problems.


Why on earth have they borked vista so it bsod's on a mobo change :mad:?

Probably because they never intended anyone to do what you're doing, so they didn't go out of their way to invent some tools to perform it with.

Vista's loading HDD controller drivers for a different controller, which don't work. Consequently Vista then can't access the HDD and completely craps out. XP can quite easily do the same thing, but in this case it would seem that the XP driver wasn't too specific.

I've only done what you're attempting once with Server 2003, and the PC did all sorts of odd things until I eventually found the time to format it.
 
In the time you have been faffing around trying to get the thing to work with the new board you could have had Vista installed and working. What takes two days to setup in Vista?:confused:
 
So you're getting annoyed because after SIX motherboards it now needs reinstalling once?

Just reinstall but don't format! You can get all your files and programs back and there's no problem. It's what I did last time I changed mobo's (945 - nforce 650) and it works perfectly fine and only took me an hour or two to get my stuff back to normal.

Face it, you WILL have to reinstall whether you like it or not, I did with xp just to make sure when I changed from nforce 4 to 945 as you did.

Not really, I've been posting messages for about 10 misn total, while I got about the same list to reinstall in Vista like this one:



Wich will definatly take longer as 10 mins.
Tbh im not bothered anymore, I don't need Vista anyhow, Xp has everything I want.
I see no reason to reinstall xp either my 3dm score is as it should be and I have no performance or stability problems.
