I need help :(

Previously using P4B, P4 1.6

Upgraded to Asus K8V deluxe, Athlon 64 3000+. Trying to boot with hard drive from other system and getting error: "No device attached to FastTrak controller, the BIOS is not installed."

I've tried disabling anything Serial ATA related in the BIOS but to no avail... now it's booting fine, but then gets to the "We're sorry for the inconvenience, but Win XP couldn't start correctly, would you like to boot safe mode/normally/last known good config" and if I select anything the system just reboots.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks.

So you are trying to use a hard drive with an operating system installed on it from a different system? If so, thats a big no go. You must reinstall windows when changing a booting hard drive to a different motherboard.
