STOP:0x00000024 (0x001901FE,0x81F02830,0xC0000102,0x00000000)
Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk defragmentation or backup utilities. Check your hard disk configuration, and check for any updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer

Are you running both operating systems from the same partition?

Sounds like you have a dual boot setup, right? The WindowsME works, but your WinXP doesn't? (Sorry, I was a little confused reading your question)

If that's the case, when you changed your motherboard, WinME will install the correct drivers for the new board and run fine. However, WinXP doesn't do that very well. As much as I've tried, I've had to reinstall WinXP when you make a board swap like this... which of course means you have to reactivate it. Microsoft seems to be fairly good about leting you reactivate.
