If I switch from a GA 7VT600 1394 with the VIA 600 chipset to a GA 7N400
Pro2 with Nvidia, will the sata drivers that were installed still work?

Nope. The VIA board has Via drivers for its SATA and the nvidia board
uses Silicon Image SATA chips and drivers.

Okay another dumb question. Do you have to reinstall XP to put the sata
drivers in on a new motherboard? I assume The HDD won't be recognized right?

Asking XP to recognise & adapt to a new motherboard is bit of a tall order,
best to format & start again.
