I installed a new motherboard and had it working. But I noticed I didn't have sound and my motherboard has built in sound. So I selected the new device and restarted windows. Now everytime windows tries to start it says It found an unkowndevice and I need to insert a disk but it doesn't tell me which device so I don't know what disk. And when I try to cancel it won't let me and windows won't start. I started in safe mode and deactivated the plug and play but it still won't start. Any suggestions?

Boot to safe mode, go to control panel -> system -> device manager and delete all with a yellow !. This will reset the system devices it does not know, they may be in an entry labled unknown devices. Upon rebooting it will "find" the "new" devices, have your disks ready for any "new" devices and load the corresponding drivers.
