The SATA controller on the old motherboard was configured as IDE and as AHCI or RAID on the new one. Setting the SATA controller to IDE should resolve your issue.

Initially you had a 0x0000007B error caused by the incorrect SATA controller configuration and that was rather easy to fix.

Did you install Vista on the same hard disk/partition and then you try to run a Windows XP recovery? That doesn't quite make sense to me.

You probably didn't disconnect the drive where XP is installed before installing Vista so that it wouldn't get modified. Read http://nctritech.wordpress.com/200 [...] platforms/ as it might help. Since you can boot from Vista, you might be able to simply rename the file and then boot from XP again.
