Windows 7 Installation - Transfer to a New Computer

i installed viamrx64 about 18 months ago and its only just come back to me having been researching the problem. The bizzare thing is I could not find anywhere in device manager that pointed to viamrx64. As i say the second time i did sysprep I removed all sata drivers etc from device manager and still had the problem, so i dont know why it was still causing a problem. I followed method 1 in the tutorial which doesnt mention about deleting drivers etc so I guess it should be updated to state that you should delete sata/ide/raid drivers in anycase before you sysprep. I hope my post can help someone who has a similar problem in the future.

Thanks again

noob question will this work to swap mobo

ty and will i loose all my programs? is that what you mean by personalization that we lose in the prossess?

ok ty very much for all the help

I have a dual boot capable system. I turned off the dual option. I have built a new machine and would like to use the turned off drive to run it.
a) How do I turn on the "off" drive to use sysprep for hardware transfer?
b) Will the current machine default to the installed drive for bootup?

I was planning to change the motherboard of the computer of my girlfriend, so I wanted to prepare the system with sysprep for a "last resort" method, but I got the message that sysprep doesn't work because Windows was upgraded and it was not a fresh install.

I suppose there is no way to bypass this limitation. Any comment?
