New CPU & MoBo, same HD
Hi
I am upgrading my CPU (from older AMD to new Intel i3 2100), motherboard (from older AMD based to new GIGABYTE GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 Z68 R), RAM (from 1mb to 8mb). My optical drive is also new. In addition, I have previously used a peripheral DVI video card but will now use the on board video. My HD is a WD 1TB 3mb/sec (SATA) on which I have previously loaded Windows 7 Professional. I thought I'd be able to just move the HD to the new rig, but the operating system gets hung up - won't boot.
Do I need to essentially reload the OS on the HD with the new rig, or is there some type of repair I can perform?
Thanks
