Hi,

 

If the motherboard is not exactly the same as the original Windows will recognise the major change of hardware and refuse to boot.

 

The solution is to do a Repair Installation of XP.

 

This will effectively correct the problem and allow you to keep your files / data intact.

 

Do you have the original installation CD ( not recovery disks ) ?
