Upgraded motherboard and can no longer boot windows. Restored older machine and still no boot. I've tried accessing my folders by booting on another drive, but get access denied errors. I have 9gb of non-backed up info on my main drive. Can I still retieve it??

not good..
to possibilities. one the cmos is defunct, take ram out and take battery out of either mother board. wait 5 minutes and install and boot up.
Or you craped out both mother boards..
But before we jump here.
What do you see when you 1st boot your computer? do you see it post all of your hardware? and Do a memory/RAm countup?
