You cannot expect to move XP from a computer with a different hardware configuration and expect it to work.

Instead i would download the utilities for the maker of the drive you want to install XP on and wipe the drive by writing all "0"s to the drive. Set the drive as master in the computer, and set the bios to boot from the cdrom drive and then install XP to the drive in a clean install. If you still have problems you may need to download the 6 disk floppy making exe file from mocrosoft and use it to install the OS.
