If XP came preinstalled on your old computer (OEM) then the license does not
permit moving the OS to a new computer, even when you move the whole hard
drive and all. If it is a retail copy of XP I suggest that you run XP in a
virtual machine on your new computer and avoid the whole issue of dual
booting. That way you can run both Vista and XP at the same time instead of
having to pick one or the other.
