If I then insert the XP installation CD, which is not an OEM one, 'setup'
runs, but says it can't find any hard disks. This seems odd, since there
is obviously a hard disk present - the machine will boot from the hard
disk if the XP CD is not present in the drive.
You need to install the SCSI drivers from a floppy during Windows
installation. You need to press F6 when prompted early on and then
follow the on-screen directions.
What he said is correct, but to clarify it:
Even if windows is on the SCSI hard drive, the SCSI controller drivers are
WRONG for the current SCSI controller that you are trying to use.
To run EITHER the SATA or SCSI hard drive on your new motherboard, you are
going to have to do an installation of Windows XP OR a REPAIR installation
of Windows XP. During installation, you will have to hit F6 and install
drivers (SATA or SCSI) to be able to support the disk controller that you
are trying to use. -Dave
