@ If i can't can I added old hard drive (e-machine) as my C-drive in new PC?

Any help with this-- am not a novice butn"t a expert. thxs again
 
No you can't. That is an OEM version which is tied to that hardware and that
hardware only. If you want a version that you can move from PC to PC go out
and purchase a retail version. That version you can put on as many PCs as
you want. AS LONG AS you only have it on 1 pc at a time.
 
You will have to buy another copy of Windows XP. as your recovery disk will
be bios locked to the e-machine.
