I remember something similar happening to Jen some time back - she had a
Windows 98 partition for playing games. She had to replace the
motherboard. Linux fired up fine, but when she tried to boot into
Windows, it detected loads of new hardware, and wanted driver CDs. It
never really worked, and she ended up re-installing (or that might have
been when she decided to ditch Windows altogether, I can't remember)
