So your motherboard went out, but if you put your hard drive in another machine, it won't boot from it? So your motherboard and hard drive are bad? I would say try using norton ghost and copying the current hard drive information onto another hard drive (sometimes hard drives that won't work properly to boot will still work well enough to be ghosted) and put the new hard drive into whatever computer you have that you tested the hard drive in after you discovered your motherboard was bad...
Other than that, if the hard drive that isn't working well enough to be booted from or ghosted, may as well toss it in the trash.
