A tricky motherboard driver question for you!!
Our trusty 8 yr. old Compaq desktop has croaked (power supply & mobo both gone west). We have a spare working Asus mobo, power supply, RAM & case which we can use, however the Compaq came with "rescue" disks which will re-load Win XP back only onto another Compaq. Therefore, we HAVE to rescue XP off the old drive. Thing is, we somehow have to get the Asus mobo driver onto the drive! We can at least boot the setup with a Knoppix disk and we are wondering if the required XP mobo driver can be installed through Knoppix.
If not, we have a drive caddy which could attach the drive to our Win 7 pooter to carry out the transfer that way. Is any of this possible? All suggestions appreciated.
