the board you got uses the AMD 690G chipset, it's a fairly "new gen" chipset, it's not going to play well with an old install of XP because your old install is going "hey wheres this chipset I'm used to?" such as something like nforce4 or something. I've taken nforce to nforce before and it worked, but i've never managed to go from one board to another if they are using different chipsets.
so, i'm just gonna say, what everyone else said in that regard is correct.
if you get a new hard drive you may as well make it the master drive and install your OS on it and then mount your old master as the slave. then youc an just delete the old windows directory off of it and be done with it (after you pull out your "my documents" and desktop stuff from the old install of course)
