Heck, I'd try it first. What have you to lose? I've not tried it with XP, but previous versions have coped with changed motherboards - I've done it more than once.
Yup, I did that. XP won't even start, it reboots the computer immediately.
Anyway, Linux was not happy with the PATA/SATA adapter, only CentOS 4.4 could "see" the PATA drive properly through the adapter, all the other distros (Fedora 6, Fedora 7 test, Ubuntu 6.06, Ubuntu 7.04 beta, Knoppix, CentOS 5) failed to initialize the SATA hardware and claimed there's no hard-drive in the system. I watched the kernel messages while they were booting up and noticed a bunch of errors when initializing the first SATA channel.
So I gave up, returned the adapter and purchased a SATA drive. I was going to need a PATA drive anyway with the old motherboard, for a MythTV server that I keep planning to build. :-)
P.S.: Looks like it's a good idea to keep a handful of distros in the CD wallet, you never know when you need a "second opinion" from a different software.
