XP wont boot HD from new MB Install

[Jayyay]

Hi,

Recently I have installed a new motherboard, processor and ram. I have tried
to reinstall XP from the CD rom which works, but on reboot to finish
instilation the hard drive does not boot what so ever.

I transferd my hard drive to my old computer and it boots just fine, does
anyone know what could be the issue?

thanks ahead of time

If you use a sata drive, it needs the drivers. Press F6 during the prompt
for "Press F6 for raid" Put the drivers on a CD or floppy available during
setup.

No, he has succeeded in installing the OS on the hard drive.

Reboot from your CD-ROM and boot into the recovery console. You need to
type 'FIXBOOT' onto the resultant command line to transfer the master boot
record onto the hard disk.
