      avoid using your pc until you get that new hard disk, and install it as 'master with slave', and your old hard disk as 'slave' (make sure you get the jumper configuration correct. most new hard disks come with a very simple diagram showing you how to do it). change the boot order in the BIOS so that it boots with your OLD hard disk. then boot in safe mode (press 'f8' just before the windows boot screen comes up). then copy all files you wish to keep onto the new hard disk. change the boot order so the cd/dvd drive is first, then pop in your windows xp cd.

      holler if you need more help

          don't know what you mean. if you mean whether its legal or not, i think you have to buy a license for each pc you have, but don't go by me!
