I am a low-intermediate running a PC with Windows XP Home. I am replacing my ASUS P5GC-MX mother board with an ASUS P5Q Pro. I have built a couple of desk tops but have never swapped mother boards. I have read some tutorials on this but they leave me with a question. I do not want to do a Windows re-install if I can help it. One tutorial says that the system should boot up OK and I might have to restart a few times for it to recognize drivers. Another tutorial says to insert the Window install CD and direct the BIOS to boot from that. My problem is my understanding is that if you have installed SP2 then you can no longer use the original CD. Because of this, using AutoStreamer, I have made a new recovery disc, slipstreaming SP2. My question: If and when the instructions say insert the Windows install CD, will it accept my slipstreamed Recovery CD?
