hilsI have to give credit to Old Faithful. She has served me well over the years. Today hardware guy warned me that most times XP doesn't like a new motherboard and goes into a boot loop until you rebuild the hard drive
Doing that wouldn't have been the end of the world but I would have lost all my music. Woe!
But, no, all I had to do was go through a rather tedious process of entering an activation code for XP and now it's running just as it was before, only faster because I have a shiny new motherboard. Next I need a new processor *g*
Only downside is that my dead PSU had the power socket for my speakers on it. The new PSU doesn't have one so I need to get new speakers now. Again, not the end of the world
I am rather pleasantly surprised at how well this all turned out. It could have been a LOT worse.
