Nathan, before we go any further with this, you can not do it.
Vista does not have repair setup like XP had when you changed a mobo.
You will have to do a clean reinstall, as vista will consider what you are
doing to be putting the hard drive in another computer, as there is/will be
such a major hardware change.
