new motherboard... do i need to reinstall windows?

[GoingUp]

Running Windows XP pro. I had an Abit NF7 rev 2.0 motherboard that went bad on me. I sent it back to newegg and now i Have a NF7-S coming my way. The difference between the NF7 and the NF7-S is that the NF7-S has serial hard drive controllers in addition to the IDEs and a firewire controller. Can I just plug everything into the board and have it work, or should I really reinstall windows from scratch?

Nope power on and it will ask/add the drivers it needs.

Maybe you could do that but one time I took a hard drive from Computer A to computer B and it wouldn't boot from there. I tried to use windows repair but that didnt work it gave me a setup... something failed to load. So I had to format the drive and re-install Windows accordingly.
