Problems after buying a New Motherboard.
If you change the motherboard/processor and RAM on your system, while retaining your older hard drive (containing your data), the system may not boot. Microsoft says that when you change the configuration of your PC, you may need to reload your OS.
This issue maybe caused because of the registry entries and the drivers for the mass storage controller hardware. For integrated device electronics (IDE) controllers, there are several different chip sets available, such as Intel, VIA, and Promise. Each chip set has a different Plug-n-Play identifier (PnP-ID). The PnP-ID information of mass storage controllers for the new computer must be in the registry before startup so that Windows XP can initialize the correct drivers.
(One more explaination- If the hard drive already has Windows installed, it wont work on a new motherboard. This is because it will still have the old mobo drivers on it and will make the Windows intallation incompatible with the new mobo)).

You can restore a system state backup from one physical computer to the same physical computer or another computer that has the same make, model, and configuration (identical hardware).
Microsoft does not support restoring a system state backup from one computer to a second computer of a different make, model, or hardware configuration. Microsoft will only provide commercially reasonable efforts to support this process. Even if the source and destination computers appear to be identical makes and models, there may be driver, hardware, or firmware differences between the source and destination computers.
This article describes how to create a system state backup on one computer and restore it to the same computer or to a different physical computer of the same make and model.
Mass storage device is your hard drive. The STOP error is complaining that there is no accessible bootable mass storage device. That usually indicates that it is missing a necessary driver.
