[Ham-Computers] Installing a new motherboard

[Loren Moline WA7SKT]

Just thought I would pass this along while its still fresh in my mind. 
Wonder if anyone else has had this happen and done this.

I installed a new motherboard in my computer to replace the Biostar board 
which wouldnt recognize all the RAM.

Upon trying to install the drivers for the new motherboard at boot up I 
found that Windows wouldn't recognize the CD ROM even when booting up with 
support. The BIOS saw it but not Windows. Upon asking the computer" What do 
you really want, I thought about it and said to myself...I bet its the old 
Biostar drivers for IDE ports doing it.

So I proceeded to find the Biostar INF file and deleted it. Low and behold 
upon boot up..Windows saw the CDROM and installed the drivers.

I always say to people...the computer knows what it wants by what it has 
been told..I just have to figure out what it wants really  :)
