You can't change out a motherboard and expect XP to start and load new drivers needed
for the board. Those days of doing it like previous versions of Windows are gone.
XP sees the new MB as being a violation of the Licensing agreement. The new board
would have to be identical to the old one including the BIOS signature to avoid this.
Your only option is to do a repair re/install or a clean install. Check out this
