quick very important question??

im getting a new motherbaord and im wondering if i have to buy windows xp like in the package. because right now i have a emachine motherbaord and im switching it with a better one. will i be able to intall windows???

 

Nothing in life is certain, but if all you have is E-machine recovery CDs, they proabably won't work with the new MoBo- they are usually coded for the one that came with your system.

If you have a retail CD, don't worry, it doesn't care, you will just need to activate again.

 

retail cds??

 

Wow, I just joined but I think I will give you some advice. First off, you have an e-machine..... Second off why do you have an e-machine?

There are a lot of variables in this.

Is the board exactly the same as the one you are replacing? If so move to: Sincerely,

Is the board similar, but not the same as the one you are replacing? Then you may need some drivers and have your Win CD handy.

Lastly, I would be glad to help you, but state more info.

Sincerely,
MrPeapers
