So as usual the OS is crashing because the drivers to control the new mobo aren't there
So basically I need a way to load them without re-installing windows

I remember a way to do this with XP and the repair command prompt but I'm lost now
I have the drivers CD from the box

When you change mobos, you have to reinstall Windows.

Did a few things here and there
Copied over program files to a spare HD and sent with a fresh install.
Now I'm getting basic executables failing left and right.

I have games crashing left and right
Pictures and movies won't load
The.new install still seems to be detecting old drivers so they fail to load
My gpu driver that pulled off the mobos site is conflicting with the one on the manufacturers site.
I have simple little executables like windows manager and thumbnail managers crashing.

What do

/e accidentally formatted the wrong partition in the startup repair.menu and.lost all my data.
Taking it to the PC shop Monday.and telling the dude to fix it in just frustrated now.
Thanks for the couple responses
