Moving a hard drive with WinXP to a new computer with all new devices
usually doesn't work to well.
XP is looking for all the Old Device Drivers. If you want to save your
files best bet is to get another
version of XP install it and then hook up the old drive as slave or
Master on the Secondary IDE channel.
