OK....I'll try to be clear.

I got a new m/board/Mem/CPU for the DAW. (Windows 7.0)

I' confident all hookups are correct: power cables/SATA drive C:/CPU/fan, etc.

I can get to CMOS, see the C: drive and it's the correct boot up drive in CMOS

I get the prompt "Windows was unable to start"
Did the repair option (recommended) and no luck after several attempts.

It occurred to me:
1) Is it possible that Windows won't start because some some authorization issue and that my Window 7.0 doesn't accept the new m/b?
Do I need to put in my Win 7.0 CD to allow some reauthorization on a new m/b?

2) Is it possible that one has to clear the BIOS with that little jumper on the m/b.

I've been through some real time consuming frustration with this upgrade and my neurons are fried.
So, if any of you read this novel and can offer some G2 I'll thank all in advance.

Hope that makes sense.....later....I need a drink.
