The easiest route would be to remove the old hard drive, then install XPHome
on the new hard drive (as Master). Then reboot and insert the old hard drive
as a slave. This will confuse the dickens out of Windows, but keep cool!

Then move your data and format the old hard drive (to remove the boot
sector) and start over fresh. If you don't remove the boot info on the old
drive, Windows will detect it and this can mess up your system settings.
