Whenever you try to upgrade motherboard and CPU's with Windows XP, you're probably going to have to format your drive and re-install XP. When you originally install XP it detects the motherboard and IDE controlers for your hard drives and installs the drivers needed but it doesn't install all drivers for motherborads and IDE controlers. When you swap out motherboards and the system tries to fire it doesn't have drivers available for the new motherboard and can't complete the boot into windows. Every once in a while you get luck and the new and old motherboard can use the same drivers but this is very rare. So when upgrading motherboards plan on backing up your hard drive of all files you need to keep and being prepared to format and re-install windows.

You'll need to upgrade your RAM, minimum requirements for windows xp is 512MB.

I know this may sound mundane, but did you load the correct set of windows drivers for the Intel 845 chipset? I mistakenly loaded the Home drivers onto a unit I tried to install Pro on and I got all sorts of errors.

I solved that problem with unpluging every kind of connectors (Usb..) Shuting completly down. Unplug the powersupply and restart the whole system. After that, go to BIOS and see the SATA Option, set to compatible and not ASHC(or whatever its called). After the BIOS Update some of my BIOS settings were changed.
