(Who might get tired writing these sentences every 2hours...)
=================================
Do a repair install with the new hardware installed. Follow these steps to
do a repair install which should preserve your data, settings, and
programs:
1. Insert the Windows XP CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM
drive.
2. Restart your computer. If you have to, change the BIOS settings to start
from the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer
again.
3. At the "Welcome to Setup" page, press ENTER.
4. Press F8 to accept the Licensing Agreement.
5. Use the arrow keys to select the installation of Windows XP that you want
to repair, and then press R to start the automatic repair process.
6. When Setup is completed, activate Windows XP.
Note that you will need your Product Key for this procedure, so have it
handy before you begin.

You also need to install all updates and hotfixes.
