Repair won't work. You need the new drivers for your new mobo installed. I suspect windows is loading old drivers for your HDD and then its not working bacuase the mobo has been changed along with the HDD controller. You'll have to do a format to fix this and if you want to save the files currently on the drive then you'll have to switch back to the old mobo and retrieve them.
