Oops.<br \/>\nThe same can be true if you are moving from Intel to AMD, or even from AMD to AMD or Intel to Intel. It\u2019s also possible that you are already using the default Windows hard disk controller, which means you don\u2019t have to change anything. But just in case, do the following:<\/p>\n<p>Go to Device Manager<br \/>\nExpand the \u201cIDE ATA\/ATAPI controllers\u201c<br \/>\nIf you have an entry like \u201cStandard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller\u201d or \u201cStandard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller\u201c, you\u2019re all set. Just stop and upgrade your hardware, and you should be fine 99% of the time. If not, carry on to #4.<br \/>\nRight-click the non-standard disk controller entry and choose Properties -&gt; Driver tab -&gt; Update Driver. I\u2019m talking controller entry here, not \u201cATA Channel o\u201c, \u201cPrimary IDE Channel\u201c, etc.<br \/>\nChoose the \u201cBrowse your computer\/Let me pick\u201d options until you get a list of compatible drivers. Select the default \u201cStandard\u201d driver:<br \/>\n&#8211; For a SATA drive: Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller<br \/>\n&#8211; For an IDE drive: Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller<br \/>\nClick OK, and don\u2019t reboot \u2013 shut down your computer and perform your hardware upgrade. If you reboot before your upgrade, Windows may automatically replace the standard driver with the custom one that you just tried to replace!<br \/>\nBefore firing up your upgraded puter, be sure to connect your primary boot drive up properly and configure the BIOS with that drive as the first boot hard disk. Normally, I try to connect all the drives in the computer and configure the BIOS boot order and such exactly as it all was in the old computer.<\/p>\n<p>When you turn on your new monster, Windows should load and be able to access the boot hard drive just fine. It may take a bit longer than usual since Windows will be detecting your new hardware and trying to install drivers. Don\u2019t freak out if everything doesn\u2019t work at first \u2013 the important thing is to get the OS booted so you can install drivers and get the rest of your hardware configured and functioning properly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/blog\/window-on-windows\/get-rid-of-old-device-drivers-hidden-in-vista\/867\">http:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/blog\/window-on-windows\/get-rid-of-old-device-drivers-hidden-in-vista\/867<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The above like will help remove extra drivers from the Windows installation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.doylenet.net\/?p=91\">http:\/\/blog.doylenet.net\/?p=91<\/a> This post explains more in detail<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>With a few hacks and tweaks you can successfully deploy the same syspreped image to <em>both<\/em> Intel and AMD hardware <em>and<\/em> uni-processor as well as multi-processor CPU\u2019s.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.abxzone.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=120818 Quote: You have an AMD processor and VIA chipset in your current machine You want to upgrade to an Intel-based system When you swap out the hardware and try to boot, Windows will use the hard disk controller driver for your old chipset, and thus you will get a blue screen because it can\u2019t [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/systemsolver.goodhealthyday.com\/StatlerBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/systemsolver.goodhealthyday.com\/StatlerBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/systemsolver.goodhealthyday.com\/StatlerBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systemsolver.goodhealthyday.com\/StatlerBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systemsolver.goodhealthyday.com\/StatlerBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=513"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/systemsolver.goodhealthyday.com\/StatlerBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/systemsolver.goodhealthyday.com\/StatlerBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systemsolver.goodhealthyday.com\/StatlerBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systemsolver.goodhealthyday.com\/StatlerBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
