Use secondary install to uninstall drivers from corrupt copy?

[wintertiger]

I recently had to replace my motherboard and did not have a chance to clear all the old drivers out manually. Apparently the 650i and 680i chipsets aren't 'compatible' and Vista started giving me a BSOD on boot, can't read it and can't find a way to make it stop resetting. I installed another copy of Vista to try and salvage the old one, but I'm not quite sure where to begin. I'm thinking load the old registry hives, modify the hardware configuration back to generic microsoft drivers, and save it back to disk. Is there an easier way? Will this even work at all? I have a strange feeling I'm out of luck though, since I couldn't prep for the swap before hand.

EDIT: Okay, it crashes after loading crcdisk.sys, with a 7F on the blue screen. Could this simply be due to plugging the drive into a different SATA port on the motherboard?
