cobelli,
You can't use XP with an orginal install on a Drive and then install a new Mobo.
You need to to a complete re-install (hoped you backed up you important DATA) that's it. By the way windows also writes files on your partitions, delete (if you can) the recycled folder and any other mysterious files traceable on any partitions.
XP analyses you equipment when it installs, and also writes files to confirm it is booting up with the same computer, this is a copyright issue. Anything from 2K also does this. If I'm wrong I'll stand to be corrected. I did a simlar thing in win98SE and could'nt understand where is got my name from?
