Since the motherboard has been changed, the BIOS is where Dell keeps information along with a partition on the harddrive.

You will have to do a clean install of XP.
Then you will have to download the drivers for your system. Go to the top of this page and click on "Technical Support" then click on "Drivers and Downloads" Since the motherboard has been changed, not all the drivers for your system will work. Choose wisely.
