i had a gigabyte ga-k8nxp-sli, scratched it putting it in a new case, went out today got an ASUS A8N-sli, question: have 2 sata HDs...raid 0...both boards have the same chipset, can i just rebuild, boot up, and go....or....(according to asus' tech support) start from scratch?
go into safemode to let windows find new drivers & load them. did that on a computer with no problems & was with xp.
Well it didn't work......lol...but it's ok....i deleted the current raid, and installed a new raid from the new (asus mobo).....and re installed windows...no biggie....good thing i have an external HD that i use to back up stuff.....
well...it didn't work....lol....the tech at asus was right, i had to delete the raid, re build it....(stuck with nvidia raid over sil3114...just seemed easier)...and re installed windows, good thing i had an external HD with stuff backed up on it. Oh well...and views on which MOBO is better ...asus A8N-SLI...or gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI?...now i got both...lol
yeah, yeah, lol Motherboard replacement can be a crap shoot if you don't fresh install. Wish they'd fix this some day!!!
