Changing Motherboard... Couple of questions: 1) Socket 7 type motherboard or a newer SECC (PII) board? 2) The hard drive that you're putting back in...does it already have an OS installed on it? If so (like Win95/98), it could be troublesome...especially with the IDE controller drivers. If it is a newer PII board, you should have no problem with the USB or any other ports. There are two different pin configurations for the older Socket 7 boards when it comes to Comm ports that you can possibly run into. You shouldn't have to worry about any of the BIOS settings except for the hard drive config, and maybe the PNP BIOS device setup, but like you posted, just note down your current settings and you should be fine.
