Two possibilities:
1. Set up the old hard drive as the Master Srive [with the new HDD as slave
- temporary configuration]. Boot to old XP system, this may require a repair
installation to run.
Then run Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, choosing to capture everything.
Once finsihed shut down and reconfigure to boot up from the new HDD. Run
FAST and import the FAST file off the old HDD.
Perform a Repair Install by following the step by step below.
Insert the XP Installation CD and boot up from XP CD.
When you see the "Welcome To Setup" screen, you will see the options below
This portion of the Setup program prepares Microsoft
Windows XP to run on your computer:
To setup Windows XP now, press ENTER.
To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.
To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.
Press Enter to start the Windows Setup.
Accept the License Agreement and Windows will search for existing Windows
installations.
Select the XP installation you want to repair from the list and press R to
start the repair.
Setup will copy the necessary files to the hard drive and reboot. Do not
press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue
as if it were doing a clean install, but your applications and settings will
remain intact
2. Attempt to take ownership of all the old folders / files, but this won't
exactly transfer the settings.
You can search for all the email .pst files adn import them into your new

subcontainers and objects check box.
5.Click OK, and then click Yes when you receive the following message:
You do not have permission to read the contents of directory folder name. Do
you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you
Full Control?
All permissions will be replaced if you press Yes.

of.
6.Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you
want for the folder and its contents.
