reinstalling preinstalled windows xp after installing new motherboard

[chris naylor]

Hi,
I have an OEM version of Windows XP, but HP haven't been
very helpful, so...
I would like to change my motherboard whilst retaining
Windows XP, all drives, memory, and peripherals, but I
don't have an installation disk for Windows XP as it came
preinstalled on the hard drive.

Will I be able to just install the hard drive into the
new motherboard and Windows will be ready to run?
Or will this work with a Recovery disk set?

Will I need to use a new hard drive to install the
motherboard drivers, then will I be able to plug the old
hard drive in and run Windows as my OS?
Or will this work with a Recovery disk set?
Or will the recovery remove the drivers for the new
motherboard?

I would be really grateful for your hasty assistance,

Chris Naylor

There Is a way for you to burn your windowS Xp Form the
Hard Drive Check HP Web site. You Can also buy the Cd
From them.
I Would Backup My Data the reload, F Disk the Hard format
& Install the OS & All the software using the new
hardware.
