Hi,
Does your computer recognise your new HDD in BIOS? Does it also recognise your CDROM drive in BIOS? or on POST?
If it does, try and use another XP CD or any kind of bootable CD, Norton is ok for this. If it reads other disk, then your xp is prolly faulty, either clean it thoroughly, or get another 1.
If it doesn't read any cds, and you try another DVD drive, and the issue continues, then I'm afraid it's probably your motherboard that's failed.
Try the above steps first before going for a mainboard.
