 Windows XP transfer between PCs, no re-install - Focusless
We've got an old Pentium 4 PC with 80GB IDE hard disk running Windows XP which I managed to lose the installation disk for some time ago.

We also have a basic dual core PC with 250GB SATA hard disk, now running linux since I moved Windows 7 onto the new PC I've just built.

Is it possible to transfer the Windows XP from the 80GB PC to the 250GB PC (putting linux on the 80GB PC after) and be left with a working XP on the 250GB machine?

(I don't think the 250GB PC's motherboard has any IDE connectors, but I need to double-check that. The 80GB PC's motherboard definitely doesn't have any SATA connectors.)
