After Setup, won't boot from HDD

I upgraded my MoBo (and almost everything else).

I tried to "repair" my WinXP Pro install and it wouldn't
boot from HDD. BIOS says "press any key to boot from
CD". If I don't it does nothing.

MS Support suggested reinstalling over old installation.
I did so. Same thing. Upon completion of Setup and the
reboot phase, BIOS says "press any key to boot from CD".
If I don't it does nothing.

What's next? Format the HDD and try again? I'd rather
keep my data, but it's moot if the HDD won't boot the
system.

What are your First and Second boot devices set to in the BIOS?
