i had my hard drive reformatted on other pc cause it gave me an error message "NTLDR MISSING" on my pc. Now it has a fresh XP OS, but when i tried it to my pc it won't work. i know that motherboard is different from where i format my hard drive (i intentionally format my hard drive from other pc to erase the error message) so when i attempt to format and install OS again, it won't budge. the keyboard doesn't work only when you press DEL to enter setup and the function keys but after i finish the setup, the keys won't work anymore. It's the reason why i can't boot from CD. hope somebody can help. thanks.

you generally cannot install an os onto a harddrive on one machine then transfer it to another unless it has the exact same hardware .... windows needs to be loaded in the machine it will run on ...

It won't work, the hard ware is different, try to format it on other computer then install it on your computer and install windows.
