That's the situation where pretty much nothing's going to help you
unfortunately, but it's a hell of a timesaver for an upgrade situation.

Kinda hard to set up if the first motherboard is fried, isn't it?

One of the tricks I use when upgrading to a completely different
motherboard with different chipsets, install a PCI hard drive controller
and install the drivers, shut down the PC and connect the hard drive to
the PCI controller and make sure it boots from it with no problems,
install new motherboard, including the PCI controller, XP should boot up.
Install motherboard drivers, shut down and connect hard drive to new
motherboard, and you've saved yourself a repair install and the need to
reinstall all the Windows Updates.

Not true at all. Granted you will have to install the drivers for the
new hardware AFTER XP boots, but whether it successfully boots or not
after a motherboard swap is 100% related to the old and new hard drive
controller.

A lot more than hard drive controllers are involved.

If the hard drive controllers are very similar, yes, if not you'll
have to perform a repair install to get it to boot.
