Grub2 won't boot W2K if used on different motherboard

I've got a hard drive with grub2 menu on first partition, w2k on 2nd partition and SystemRescueCD on 3rd partition - this works great.

 

However, If I move the hard drive to a PC that has a different motherboard, grub2 won't boot the w2k partition (the SystemRescueCD partition still works).

 

When I select the W2k menu entry, the screen goes blank except for a flashing underscore and it remains like that forever. Something (I assume grub2) still responds to Caps Lock and Ctrl/Alt/Del though. If I put the hard drive back into the original PC, it works fine again.

 

I understand that w2k may not function correctly on different motherboard but 'nothing at all' happens - not even the ntldr loading bar is shown, making me think the hand-over isn't taking place.
