Hi, Mauricio.
Define "just installed". Did you just plug it in? As primary or secondary?
Master or slave? Did you leave the old HD in place? Have you installed
WinXP on it?
As jch said, it may be as simple as plugging in the old HD as slave or
secondary and using standard Windows methods to move the files.
Of course, moving application files is not enough to let you run the
programs. Each application will have to be installed so that its Setup file
can write the proper entries into the Registry of your new WinXP
installation. And moving "system files" won't let you boot into WinXP; you
will have to run WinXP Setup to detect your hardware configuration and
customize WinXP to fit your computer.
If you tell us more, we can help you more.
