The IDE controller etc will be different to what your previous installation was set up for. You can't take the drive with the operating system out of a pc and put it in a nother one and have it work fine just like that!
Not if you set the driver to a Std IDE driver before the mboard change. You can install the correct drivers after the new mboard is fitted.
