Are you getting an INVALID_BOOT_DEVICE message during the boot? If so, put the old
motherboard back, boot up into windows and go into Control Panel->System->Device
Manager and then select the IDE Controller (not primary or secondary but the main
driver) then change it from whatever it is to the generic IDE controller. This will
remove the specific motherboard drivers from the equation and make the drive bootable
on any motherboard. It will work after this.
