It means that you need the have the same controller for the HD on both mobos. You'd have to check the mobo manufaturer's website or the manual that came with each. Either will list the type of controller the board uses. For an example, I'm using an MSI K7TPro2. MSI's website says my board has a VT82C686B South Bridge chipset.
The VT82C686B is the chipset of the "South Bridge." The South Bridge handles several things, including IDE conrollers. As long as both motherboards have the same South Bridge, then you should be okay. Depending on the controller it may or may not support both ATA100 and ATA133. What are the model numbers of the two motherboards?
