Your new board will mean a new install and activation. Since you were only supplied
recovery discs, you are in a real dilema. Recovery CDs are only meant to work with
the hardware that they were shipped with. To change MBs you will need to reinstall
with a full version of XP which you will have to purchase I am afraid. Sorry, it's
not good news.. look at this page for an example of swapping MBs under XP: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,11715,00.asp
