New... Well Everything but no idea how to boot....

I recently installed a new motherboard on the computer(recently meaning about an hour ago). Ok I have everything set up.. So i hit the power button. What it does is it brings up the motherboards screen and then it asks if i want to boot windows xp normally i hit yes.. It goes to the windows xp loading screen and then it reboots itself... Please help i think my guide says to hit f2 but i have no idea what to do when i do.. my motherboard is a D946GZIS it's an intel

Re: New... Well Everything but no idea how to boot....

Did you prepare the hard drive with Sys Prep? If not, then you may have to try a Repair Install and redo your chipset drivers and SP2. You can't just move a hard drive from one motherboard to another and have it work without difficulties.
