may be ur motherboard doesn't support sata drives

the old motherboard did not support sata..........

how u copied the HDD ? did u simply performed copy/paste the whole HDD ? if so it will not boot from u r sata hdd. make an image of u r old IDE hdd and then restore the image in the new sata hdd. it will do the job. for making image u can use norton ghost, acronis true image etc .
