So I have 2 sata drives with windows on one and the other is storage. Well I installed a new motherboard but I neglected to install the appropriate windows sata drivers before swapping motherboards. The windows install does recognize the disks, but I still can't get into windows (bsod). Does anyone know of a way to get the windows drivers installed without being in windows? Maybe some option in the windows install? Thanks,
 
well most new mobos dont need drivers...

also if you are getting BSODs the drives are recognised. But you need to reinstall windows most of the time when you change mobos... you can boot into safe mode and then unistall all the drivers for the mobo and then reinstall the new mobo drivers...

its unless this is a 478 or 754 system you shouldnt need any drivers for the drives
 
I can't get into safe mode either, it just fails to load something and crashes. There is a way to do a reinstall of windows without losing any settings isnt' there?

Edit: so I am installing windows over my old windows....we'll see what happens
