When you change something like the motherboard, the boot info changes with it and is not recognized by the previous instillation of XP.

You have 2 choices:

-Reformat (backup by making it a slave on another computer and transferring data), or loose all your data and re-install XP

OR

-buy a new hard drive, install XP on that, and set the older one as a slave.
