I have run into the silly little problem of my win7 boot drive not booting with my new pc hardware - I should have read up first 

From what I have read there is a couple of ways of fixing it - I can either plug my old parts back together and run sysprep to remove all drivers from the drive - then when it boots up it acts as thou it has been a fresh install and ican install the mobo drivers

Or I can buy a new hdd and install from scratch.

Has anyone tried the sysprep method? Will it affect partitions on the same physical drive?

Just wanting to know if anyone has shipped dangerous goods into NZ before, and how much trouble is it? Im trying to see how hard it would be to get some class 9 dangerous goods into the country - specifically Li-ion batteries that weight about 5Kg each.

from the little bit of reading ive done, IATA and FAA wont allow this size onto aircraft, so any advice on shipping or any names of companies that you may have delt with for shipping dangerous goods, and experiences with them is much appreicated
