You need to run a repair of the OS, using the original OS disc that you used on that harddrive.

i dont think there is a problem with it because i plugged the harddrive back into my old computer and it worked perfectly fine....

Ya, it worked because it was formated and installed on that Motherboard, you can't just connect a used harddrive with an OS on it, to a different motherboard. The BIOS/CMOS doesn't know where to find the OS in short. Therefore by running a repair on the drive connected to the New motherboard youll show it where it is and it will work after this.

ste is right.

do you need to do a whole reformat, or just a repair of the OS?

 

[Icewolf]

ok thx but how do you run a repair? do you do it from the disk and how would it work because the computer keeps on restarting with the new motherboard

 

[PZEROFGH]

you do it from the XP disk and you hit R when it says so

You go as if your going to install again, but when the disc sees an OS already on it, you select repair current windows installation.

You need to boot off your Windows disc and follow above instructions, you may have to set CD-ROM as first in boot priority, then when it says boot from CD after POST, you hit any key and procced with the repair.

do i need an installation disk or the recovery disk?
