Old hard drive from mac mini 5,2 doesn't recognize new motherboard of mac mini server 5,3.

As the title says, replaced the faulty motherboard of my mid 2011 mac mini 5,2 with a refurbished mid 2011 mac mini server 5,3 motherboard. However the OCLP will only recognize it as the old 5,2 motherboard even when changing the target host model to 5,3. I've done a complete 7 pass erasure of the hard drive before installing but still comes up the same. Newly installed second ssd drive is recognized as 5,3 but I'd still like to use the old 500g hard drive. Any ideas out there how to fix this?
