i have windows xp pro but not installed i have the setup files the cd key on my pc and when i tried to upgrade my pc the blue screen of death appeared saying DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_TO or something like that and it is follow by the usual. The problem is that i cannot get back onto my xp to fix this problem now i think this is because the setup files are on the hard drive so i have no way of shutting it off like i would if i had a cd. Now the cd key is registered for another computer and they registered it first do you think m$ will give me a new cd or throw me in jail. or can i somehow exit this setup while it is in prgress and fix the problem then try it again. last time i had to do a total system reboot.

When you change motherboards (or swap a drive from one machine to another) you have to format and install fresh.
