Hi hope someone can help with this:

I moved my harddrive from a P3 to a P4 system. System will do initial
bootup, but gets to the message screen that states "apologizes for the
inconvenience", makes the safe mode,saft mode with Networking, etc.... Last
known good configuration and the starting Windows normally statement. I've
tried all options offered with no success. I have attempted to repair the
problem with fixmbr and fixboot, still no luck. I've checked the ram in
another system, it runs fine. Frustration levels are going up a notch, anyone
with an idea, please let me hear from you. Thanks
 
You have a new/different Chipset on the P4 system. This means
that the driver for your mass storage devices is different. To get
the system to run will require a Repair or In-Place upgrade with
the Windows CD. This must be done correctly or you can end
up overwriting the existing instance of XP.

Some helpful information can be found here on Repair Installs.
