Do you have the installation CD for XP ?
Is it a Corp Edition ?

Does your older PC meet the minimum requirements for XP ?

If so then do a clean install on the older PC.

WinXP requirements (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/howtobuy/upgrading/sysreqs.asp).

Personally, I think the memory minimum is a bit dodgy. The more the merrier with XP.

One question, Do you have the installation files (the contents of the CD) or are you trying to transfer the files from within an active system?

yeah sounds like he doesnt have the installation disk. The only way i can think of doing it is by making a ghost backup using Norton Ghost, burn it on disk and install it on your other pc.

It would be pretty messy after its installed because it would still have the registry and shit from the other pc and you will have to do a few things to get it running correctly.


I wouldnt do it.
