Why? They are both XP Home. The only difference is one is SP1 and the
other SP2. In any event, is the version of XP you want to move a retail or
an OEM version? If it's OEM, then by the license it's tied to the first
computer on which it's installed, and can't be moved to a new computer. If
it's retail then it can be moved. Move the hard drive to the other
computer, and then you'll likely need to do a repair install.

Or just remove XP from the first computer and reinstall it in the second.
