moving to new hardware crash

Went from old AMD computer w/ windows XP to new intel
computer 800FSB and abit IC7 mobo. Using same hard drive
western digital 7200rpm ATA100. Everytime I try to fresh
install windows XP to find correct hardware for registry,
it won't copy some files and it crashes. XP is an
upgrade CD, tried to use old win98SE full install but
hardware is too new and 98 freaks out, isn't stable to
upgrade to XP from. Is there a way to shutdown a stable
XP on an old computer and then make it restart and detect
new hardware in the new one without crashing?

You need to do a Repair Installation of XP in order to ensure all the new
drivers and chipsets are correctly configured.
