You moved your hard drive to another PC and now it won't boot. The problem is that the Windows on your hard drive does not have the drivers it needs to run on the different PC. You will most likely have to reinstall Windows.

In order for you to move a hard drive with Windows XP from one PC to another, both PCs must have the exact same hardware. When Windows XP is installed it writes a file hal.dll that stores all the hardware information for the operating system. If the hardware is not the same, you will get a blue screen error and automatic reboot. You need to reinstall Windows XP with the hard drive in the new PC and activate it again with Microsoft. I hope that this helps.
