I bought a new system that came with xp installed. I want
to move xp & programs from my old computers hd to the
new hard drive and keep the version of xp that came with
it. Can I dual boot or what? Don't know how to go about
it. I could use the old drive as a second hd, but I would
like to have all the xp configurations set up on my old
drive, and then use it as a second hd. Right now, I go
into BIOS, set the boot drive to the second drive and
reboot. HELP!!!!!!

You'll need to install your programs on the new computer using
each program's original installation media, then use the Files and
Settings Transfer Wizard to transfer your files and settings.
