Hi all,

i recently updated my motherboard to a Asus P5N-D which has a nVidia chipset, but my previous m/b was intel based chipset. Vista on Sata drive 1 will not boot, but WinXP that i have on a second Sata drive on Sata 2 will. Is there any way to remove the intel drivers and install the nVidia drivers while in WinXP to the Vista OS? I am NOT running a raid array, just 2 Sata drives. Also is there anyway to see the BSOD before it reboots, it flashes so fast i can't see it. Thx.

You can try to boot from the vista dvd and repair the boot sector. Boot from the vista dvd and get to the screen where it says 'install now'. On the lower left click repair my computer. Follow the instructions and it will restart, it should be fixed.
