One option is to connect the hard drive to your new system and then run the xp disk to perform a repair installation of xp, so it will adapt to your new hardware and keep your old files . I have done this a few times and has worked fine.

Info how to:

Before you try this i would backup most of your files just in case something was to go wrong. Maybe other users have a better idea?
