I screwed up
I think I have well and truly screwed up. I copied/cloned everything to the new drive. Everything seemed to be working and then I lost my display. I then put a new display card in and tried that. It didn't work either. I tried the card in another machine and it worked fine. Put it back in the other machine and this time it worked. Did some stuff, rebooted, and no display. I went through this stuff about 5 times. As far as I can tell my motherboard is toast. I have bought a new motherboard and it will be here in a couple of days. However, now I have some choices. Oh, when I was checking out the clone, making sure everything was dandy, etc. I fully erased acronis from the hard drive.
The first is to try and move the new drive to the new motherboard and go through the xp install disk, get it to copy the drivers for the new board (repair), etc. This is what I suspect I am going to have to do.
The other option is to put another new drive into the machine, install a new operating system and then try and move programs and data to the new drive. I don't think that acronis true image 2014 will allow me to pick and choose like that but, perhaps?
The reason for all of this is that I am hoping somebody can tell me what they think I should do before I tear into the problem.
Thank you..........
