Does the laptop with the new hard drive already have XP on it? If so, find the sticker with the product key (usually on the bottom) and use that when you install XP on the new hard drive.

If not, you will need to purchase a new license for that laptop. Many on-line sellers such as Newegg (http://www.newegg.com) or TigerDirect (http://www.tigerdiect.com) still have Windows XP licenses available.
