Ehh, did you even bother to re-install Windows XP? Because if you
DID'nt, that might just be it. You see, all the components of your two
motherboards are completly different. And therefore, windows tries to
load the wrong drivers. Also, if you're using SATA disks with the
wrong drivers (that is, for a different SATA chipset) the same problem
arises.
