Wont boot after mobo and processor change

[rahilb]

Okay. I had this **** dell 8200(intel P4) and i didnt want to spend 200 quid on 512 upgrade of rdram and i was sick of agp 4x so i got a new mainboard and amd 2500+ barton core(heard 'twas good for ocing). So when i connect my 2 old harddrives to the new pc. The bios loads fine. Then it says looking for boot records in ide0. It gets stuck there. So i change it to boot from my windows disc but when it boots, the screen just goes black and nothing happens. how do i fix it?

if you are using oem dell xp OS
it will not load on another motherboard
dell oem is looking for the dell bios
even if you can get past the boot error it will not run
if you are using retail xp
you need to do fresh install and or load the board drivers
conflict maybe with the old video drivers and new card
