PC will not boot after Motherboard and CPU replacement
I replaced the motherboard and cpu from an Acer Aspire T180(Windows Vista Home, Athlon 64 X2 3800+) with Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H and AMD Phenom 9600 Agena. Using the old hard drive which is SATA. After power up I get the message: "SATA is found running at IDE MODE!"...Press to enable AHCI mode or to continue IDE mode operation...I press nothing and it continues to give the following message later on...Verifying DMI Pool Data...Boot from CD/DVD DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.
I tried placing an XP Pro disk in and after running for a while I got a BSOD. Does anyone have any ideas ?

You have 2 things going against you. First the system will not work with the Acer motherboard drivers and second is that Vista is probably tied to the Acer BIOS and not work with the Gigabyte board. You are probably looking at a clean install of Vista and maybe a new copy of Vista as well.
