SBS2000 down and restore isn't working - help me please

We have an SBS2k server. The other day we had some power issues overnight and it fried the mainboard despite being on a good UPS. Since the mainboard was toast we decided to upgrade a bit when replacing the hardware. All the data on the server's hard drives is intact but it won't boot on the new hardware, it freezes at MUP.SYS (based on a safe mode boot).
I switched to plan B and installed a fresh copy of SBS2k on new drives on the new mainboard. Everything works great until I restore the backup. After a system restore and reboot it blue-screens with a Driver_Power_State_Failure or Bad_Pool_Caller Stop message.
So now I'm left with trying to restore everything manually. Is there any way to get the new installation of Exchange (same version of course) to attach to the old exchange data? I seem to recall that I can't just create new accounts with the same name and assume that SBS2k will let them have access to their old mailboxes. I tend to think that Exchange will view the user as someone that just happens to have the same user ID as the old user and it will deny access to the mailbox. Am I right?
Sorry for the long post. I've been up WAY late the last 2 nights trying to get this thing back up and running, I'm a bit frazzled now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :-D
