ACPI Load Problem After Mobo Change

[Paputxi]

I had to replace my old MSI motherboard with Intel CPU (it died) with a new
one; totally different from other one (ASUS) and AMD CPU. I am able to boot
into Safe Mode, but it won't boot into Normal Mode. Looking at the boot log,
everything looks fine until it says "Did not load driver ACPI Multiprocessor
PC" followed by other "did not load" messages.

I see where other people say to do a repair install of XP. But since it
boots into Safe Mode, doing a repair install seems awful drastic in this
situation. Does anyone know how to correct this problem without doing a
repair install? Thanks in advance.

Doing a repair install is indicated and necessary to load the proper drivers.
Obviously safe mode shows that since it boots, the old drivers are
interferring with normal boot, so they need to be replaced with new ones.

A new MB & going from amd to intel hardware & youre expecting a
"repair" to do the job,good luck....Even if you stayed with amd the OS is
configured around totally diffrent hardware,plus,a repair takes about as long
as a new installation...

You need 2 kinds of backup before proceeding to the clean install that you
actually need for XP to work right. One is all your personal data, the
other an image file of the windows partition to recover any data that you
may have overlooked when recovering image at the file/folder level. Some
specific settings like network and so forth may be specific to your network
or ISP, that you may have to write down on paper in the spiral notebook I'm
sure you keep near your PC for such purposes, passwords are another example.
And, this assuming you have all the 3rd party installation media available
and their specific product keys if applicable. If all is not available, you
may be in for a long rebuild to your previous level.
