Okay, found the problem. It was an idiot mistake. The new MB had the
drive mode defaulted to AHCI. The drive I was trying to boot was set to
IDE. Once I changed the BIOS, I was able to boot up to the desktop. It
complained a lot, but it booted.
One other important thing I learned...SYSPREP will not work on any
install that has been updated. It only works on a fresh install.
Thanks for all the help and ideas! I'm done for the day. I will do the
complete upgrade tomorrow. Z97 MB (Asus Hero VII), i7-4770K, 16GB
memory and Alva Nanoface Audio/Midi interface.
Thanks...Steve

Can SFC detect whether the correct driver is installed? As for the
system drivers in the Intel exe, it looks like it generates a .inf on
the fly. The .inf files it generated on the netbook were filled with
'no driver'. I tried that anyways, it said installed but didn't
change the situation. Since I can prep this drive beforehand, will
deleting the HD controller drivers make windows reload the generic
drivers? Or maybe I can get away with doing a sysprep? Never did
sysprep before....
Not sure if SFC can fix a driver. Can you use this remove the drivers:
