Moving to Intel from AMD

I’ve moved hard drives to different MB using repair install many times with success, but never from AMD to Intel. The problem is when i boot the 160 gig Maxtor drive the XP setup does not see the previous install to repair, just an unknown partion. I vaguely remember using Maxblast to prepare the drive, but see no indication that Maxblast is loading.
?1. Can I use repair install to move the amd xp install to the Intel board.
?2. If the bios limitations concerning the 160 drive keeping me from seeing the previous install?
