Señor Raymondo,

Up until now, any method I knew of involved a Windows XP CD and was also quite time consuming. I imaged my hard drive with Macrium Reflect before moving it from an HP Pavillion to a Compaq Presario. I tried Solution a): OMG – Pure Genius!!! You are a true scholar in your profession. Thank you so much!

Excellent article, saved me rebuilding a machine i have had for four years.

Upgraded from an K7Neo to an K8N Neo 939 motherboard had the BSOD 7b boot device error, used option B here and it worked a charm!

Thank you so much!

Thank you, thank you, thank you……

Although it’s a bit of a mess around to do it, you have no idea how much time this will save me.

I bow down to your superior knowledge and may you get all the good Karma you deserve in one lump sum (maybe the lottery) :)

Again, thank you :)

used option “a” and it worked perfectly although the last step 9 did not prompt me to reboot. Shutdown and moved to the other computer, booted up fine with a bunch of new hardware found messages. Installed new motherboard drivers and been working fine for a week now.

To clarify you only use one of the two options a or b.

Its important to click the “Show hidden devices” under the view tab or else you wont see the option to switch to the Standard Dual Channel IDE
