I am replacing a failed MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum with an identical motherboard.
Will I still have to reinstall Windows XP SP2 and all applications?

regards,

If the board is identical, I don't think you have to reinstall the OS.

No, but you may have to re-activate it because it is a different
netwark card id.

It will work just fine-In fact the only thing that is really important
is that the chip set is the same(drivers) windows will not self install
it's drivers if it detects other chip set drivers present. You have no
problem.

You should have smooth sailing with this issue. I've done this MANY times
in my job as a Field Service Tech.

Let us all know how it went!

System is now working but I had to make registry and licence file changes.
