The only way to fix that problem is use your own computer to install windows XP... If you change the motherboard and use the same hard drive to boot up windows xp, you will get "NTLDR missing" during startup before you see the splash screen. It's the godly microsoft copy right protection thingy...

u could try a repair install that fixes the problem on most computers when they change the motherboard. Zo

You can't install XP on one system, then put the HDD in another system & expect it to work...it's configured to the other system! As stated above, you can try a "repair install" in the machine you plan on running the HDD in: http://www.windowsreinstall.com/winxppro/installxpcdrepair/indexfullpage.htm
