The scenario for 2000/XP is similar but with different approach. To see the "hidden devices" you have to follow certain steps. They're available at this MS KB Article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;241257


It gets worse than that. From recent experience, XP does not like to have the motherboard hardware changed "underneath itself".

There is a utility called SYSPREP which you can use to move an existing setup, but even that has limitations - especially in XP Home edition. XP Pro claims to be a little smarter about being migrated. (You can search for SYSPREP as a keyword in Help, which will connect to MS KB if you're online.)

And of course you can't use SYSPREP if the motherboard just died on you... so the best practical way may be to reinstall. It's said to be good for the soul.
