Your recovery cd is probably made specifically for your pc as it was originally set up. By swapping the main board you have made the recovery program on the cd see this as a completely different computer and it will not work. If you get a full version of win XP it will let you format your hard drive and do a clean install without all the extras that the PC makers think you need.
