when you install a new mobo you all so have to reinstall windows/os...

looking2build is right you will have to reinstall windows, you will need an official windows cd a recovery cd wll not work ,if you have an oem windows cd you will be able to use that but you will have trouble activating windows, you can usally ring microsoft and give a reason why you have replaced the mobo and eventually they will activate it.

You have changed your entire system, it will cause errors when you try to boot up using your old installation, so install a fresh copy of windows.
