XP boots from specific controller on motherboard.
Your new motherboard might have different chipset from the old motherboard.
Best way to get around this is to put your drive back to the old system, then go out and by
an IDE PCI card (any brand).
Connect the drive back to your old system and install new PCI card.
Boot the system and install the driver for the new PCI controller.
Shutdown and connect the drive to the new PCI controller card.
Turn on the system and now your system should boot with drive attached to the new PCI controller.
Shut the system down and move both new controller and drive to new system.
Be sure the drive is attached to the new pci controller and turn on the new system.
Your new system should boot with drive attached to the new pci controller.
Once boot, intall all the drivers that came with the CD from the new motherboard.
After that, you should be able to boot the XP drive attached to new motherboard.
The new controller you can leave it in there or use it to move the boot drive from system to system.
Hope this helps!
