reallllllly slow. when I unplug the secondary IDE it
boots much much faster but still same prob. heres my

Pick ONE board do a repair install so it will recognize the new Hardware.
You MUST do this every time you change MB's so make up your mind and stick
to it.

The title implies that you have changed the motherboard from a different
type. If you do that, you must start off with a 'repair' reinstallation
of XP so that the underlying interfaces to the hardware are correctly
matched up. Set the BIOS to boot CD before Hard disk, then boot the XP
CD, start Setup (do not take 'Repair' at this stage), then after the
license agreement take 'Repair Installation'. This will retain your
existing software installations and most settings. But Updates will
have to be run again, especially SP1; and if you have drivers that only
arrived with that, like USB 2 ones, you will need to update drivers for
the devices concerned. You may find that things like virtual memory
settings and some aspects of appearance have reverted to defaults
