    If you have a Retail version of XP, it should be OK to do so.  You would want to install with the original install CD.  If you have an OEM version, then it is tied to only the hardware that it was originally installed on.

    Please repost your question in the more appropriate Microsoft Community Windows XP Installation Forum.  Thank you!
