moving hardrive to new pc

[Guest]

I bought a new pc recently with xp home installed... C:/... My old pc I had xp pro upgraded from 98, so its if fat32. I would like to know if there is a way to have make that hardrive bootable on the new system, as some programs and roms etc wont work on xp home.... D:/.... I can access D:/ though C:/ but some things still wont work. Is there a way to make my old system/ drive boot on this pc.....with or without home..C/: installed, I cannot get it to open, via boot disk, cd or through normal boot. when I try i get options of safe mode, normal mode etc..... but whichever i chose it just makes it reboot, taking me back to where I started. Any ideas please???
