I suggest you don't Leon, whatever software problems you had with your old Install will be carried over as well.

Just copy your data and do a fresh install of the OS and all your applications. If you're using the new HDD on different hardware then your old install will have wrong drivers and config for the new hardware anyway.

One last point, if your new machine is any of the current motherboards it's unlikely that XP will even run on that platform, I recently built an XP machine using the only new MB I could find that supported XP, even then I had to chase up obscure drivers, took over 16 hours to get the damn thing running.
