Even with XP on the more recent build now used after having replaced the first board and reinstalled Windows there I ran into the same error after having not booted in XP for a good period of time for some unknown reason.
I have the present Vista install on an ide drive set as the default while XP sits on a sata model. The last build saw XP on both types there without running into this problem likely from having to reinstall both editions of XP as well as Vista for the multiboot at the time while the board in the previous build ahaaa... it loved batteries!
Besides boot problems try memtest reporting error on defect memory and giving the appearance of a failed cpu! Lately when tossing in a new battery suddenly the fsb can be set to 200mhz on that old board? You never know! But at least with knowing a new battery is going in you expect to be in the bios making any needed changes afterwards from factory defaults.
