I had failure of disk and motherboard after using windows
xp home edition for approximately one year.

I bought the disk of windows xp separately as the computer
came with me. I formated and installed a full edition with
no problems

Now the windows xp home edition does not proceed after the
users agreement and f8 is inoperable

Since I replaced the ide disk and the motherboard, is it
possible that the windows xp disk detects a different
computer and automatically ceases operation?

I was forced to reinstall windows me (see below)

That may be the cause if this CD contains an OEM version of Windows.
Some of these CDs are sold with hardware and will only work on the
same system. However, you should find a notice about this on the CD or
the CD cover. And this should only apply if you got the CD from your
hardware vendor because else you would not have to been able to
install Windows earlier as well.
If this is not the case the problem may be in the hardware
configuration. If possible, remove all devices that are not really
necessary to run the Setup and retry. If it works now, add the new
devices step by step to find the cause of the problem.
