I just replaced a bad motherboard, but XP Pro only
boots so far before it - reboots.

Is there a way to get it to boot at least as to a point
where I can install all the proper MB device drivers .

TIA.

Try running a repair installation. Here are a couple of articles you may find

Keep in mind that you should back up any important files before running this
procedure.

Good luck
