What I learned to do when switching hardware out from under a working
Windoze system was just before the final shutdown, go to the hardware
manager and delete all the devices, then shut down, swap the hardware,
reboot, and let it re-auto-detect everything, and install MB drivers
as necessary. Fewer conniption fits from windows when doen that way.
But that was Win95,... who knows what XP/Vista/7 would do in that
situation.
