Your problem is caused by your hard drive containing all the drivers for your old hardware and it`s just not going to work with the new stuff.

The chances are, you will need to reformat and reinstall from scratch. Having said that, you might be lucky and get away with a Windows repair as per this thread HERE.

you cannot use an old hd with XP on it in a new system. It must be formatted and xp reinstalled or used as an external USB drive.
