Whenever you swap out the motherboard you always reformat/reinstall the operating system. Will never have a smooth running system swapping motherboards without reformatting.

expanding on this topic, since his question was already answered, anyone know of a good server or something I can host a lot of my files on? I'm about to do a massive upgrade to my system, but I have liek 100gb of series and movies and thousands of pictures.

Drop it onto another harddrive, lets assume you have about 100 gigs of stuff, conservatively. Most ISP's throttle your upload to about 100 kb/s, That's going to take you a f*cking long ass time, uploading 24/7, not to mention your internet will be unusable saturating your upload like that.
Not to mention cost, it is going to cost you god knows how much to upload 100+ gigs of random garbage to a website for storage.
Either drop it onto another harddrive in your system, or if you are wal-mart and only have 1 harddrive, Hell, even if you only have 1 harddrive, partition it so windows is on it's own seperate partition. So you dont have to move everything off that drive to format.
Or see below.
Click, buy, done
