    I switched to the generic IDE drivers, and pre-installed the INFs for the new motherboard and whatnot.

    It went off quite well, only had to install a few drivers on bootup. And I even went PATA->SATA!
    Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.

      sweet, glad it went smooth for you.
      Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

        Now you can boot into safe mode and remove all the cr*p that's left from the previous install in the device manager...

          Don't even need to do that.
          Code:
          set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1

start devmgmt.msc
          Then View->Show Hidden Devices
