HDD Issue, or Is This Normal?

I have the spec in my sig and last night I took my Sata drive from my old machine and installed it into my new rig.

I took the new HD listed below out, so I only had my old HDD in. Its the exact same model, only difference is it has XP installed on it rather than Vista. However, when I load the machine up, it starts booting and then restarts itself.

I didnt think I had to install anything and it should work fine. Is this a problem because XP is already installed on the HDD and the mobo is recognising this, as the only OS previously used was Vista?

I have removed all the motherboard drivers from the HDD. Its basically a clean install of XP Home onto the machine, and then transferred straight to the new rig.

So there shouldnt be any driver issues.

Nope. It does it just after the mobo screen passes.

Without looking when I get home I couldnt tell you.

The old machine has a P5B in it, and the new machine a P5N32 SLi Premium. They should surely be the same, as both made by Asus.
