I just upgraded from a Soyo p4x400 dragon platinum (good board, bad bad OC ability) to a p4p800. Everything was smooth until I booted up, when I found out that Windows wouldnt load. It got to the point of selecting whether I wanted a normal startup/ last good config/safe mode etc, and then it either goes black or it gives a BSOD with 0x0000007b followed by more hex. I pulled the drive, installed another one, and installed windows again. Everything now works fine. What I'm wondering is why the old OS setup wouldn't work. I read it has something to do some sort of OS/motherboard driver incompatiblity or something like that, but I uninstalled all soyo drivers and even ran sysprep (something I read would fix it). Nothing works. I haven't yet tested that drive on another board, but I'm wondering if there's any way to fix it without a format/reinstall.
 
What OS?

You said you used system prep. So I am thinking you have XP. If you do reinstall the old drive. Then boot of the cd. Select new install. At some point it will see the old install. When it does it will ask if you want to repair. Select yes. Then it will repair the install.
 
I get no option to repair the install. Whats odd is that if I have the current drive in, and and do that process, I do get an option to repair.

I have never seen one do that before.

I wonder if system prep removes this option?

At this point I would just format and reinstall if you want this drive as a boot drive.
 
yeah, I'm gonna format later. It didn't give me a chance to repair even before I ran sysprep, so I think that motherboard move did it in. I also gave the drive one last shot on my friends AMD board... no go. Stupid soyo board...
