    That hard drive was formatted with your old motherboards EEPROM. The only way the hard drive will work if it is formated with the new motherboards EEPROM. I don't think you can boot disks, but try it anyways, don't know what its worth...

    Anywho, you are going to need to get the EEPROM, and the only way is to extract it from the motherboard..
    You will need an eeprom reader.

    You can find them on ebay, or build your own. Link
