did you install xp again, or is it still the install of the old mainboard?

in that case, just get in the bios and "boot from cd" to install winxp(it sucks btw) again, it should work out fine

otherwise get your hands on another comp. to format the disk drive and then put your (formatted) hdd back where it was. install windowsxp(I hope you have XPpro, cuz it's a bit better) and then I'm 99% sure it will work fine.

should take you a little time ( about two hours)

good luck

Depends on the used mainboard chipsets.
For example:
If your old mainbord got a Via KT400 chipset and you changed to a Nvidia Nforce2/3 chipset, it's recommend that you reinstall windows completly.
But if you used a KT266 and changed now to a KT400a it should work without any problems.

So if you change to a completly new chipset type you should reinstall windows. That's at least my experience .

edit: night

switched from KT400 to Nforce2

i dont like completly reinstall windows... it's not fun for 2 hours, but for 2 wks included all stuff what i need 4 my wrk...

f***d win.virus, wtf OS it is when i can do only reinstall?

hm... no idea

the point is : your operating system thinks you still have the old mainboard and(cuz virdows is crappy) , he doesn't change his mind , and boots again, and again,....

/me suggests you take two weeks of

It's up to you now.
Sure it's really annoying to install winxp again, we all know it , but it's sometimes the best solution to avoid problems.

Its rebooting because of the IDE drivers, if you wanted to change from a via based board to an nforce board you should have previously changed the IDE drivers to "standard dual channel pci ide controller" you can do that by going to update drivers, install from specific location, dont search I will chose driver. Then you can change your motherboard to the nforce one and itll work, itll redetect all the new chipset stuff on its first boot, although like everyone said above reinstall is best way in the long run
