I am so excited this went off without a hitch. The only thing I needed to fix was the boot order of my harddrives (something I should have thought of before switching mobos) Thank you!

It's a good trick if you're quick and you don't have any acetone, though! It works if the glue is still wet, but if it’s started to dry, you’re in trouble.

It would be handy to know what 5 beeps refers to. Sometimes motherboards have a certain number of beeps for a certain hardware failure. But in any case, I would try removing 1 or more of the memory modules and trying to boot the old machine in case it's a RAM problem. Then, you could remove any PCI/PCI-E cards installed and see if that helps, including swapping out the graphics card if you have a spare. If none of that works, and you don't want to reinstall, I would probably do an "install-over" on the new machine where you don't format the drive, but just let Windows install over the old version. You'd have to reinstall all your apps, but at least your files would remain intact. Hmm, well… It would be handy to know what 5 beeps refers to.

Yeah, that would do it. I've never done an upgrade like this involving RAID. Ah! Yeah, that would do it. I’ve never done an upgrade like this involving RAID.

I think it's probably because it's a RAID controller?? Anyway, I gave up and just re-installed from scratch - sometimes the long way round is quickest! I've bookmarked this page though, as I'm sure it'll come in handy soon! Thanks for the reply. I think it’s probably because it’s a RAID controller??
