I am upgrading the motherboard, cpu, and memory from my computer. The old hardware was an ASUS A7S333 mobo, Athlon XP 1600, and 768MB of Kingston PC2100 memory. I am replacing it with an ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo, Athlon XP 2600 (Barton), and a 1GB of Kingston Hyper-X PC2700 memory. My question is will the current harddrive be able to boot connected to the new hardware and re-configure itself or do i need to re-format the drive? The OS is WinXP Pro.
