Probably due to the XP activation I'd imagine. Its not finding the right motherboard.

XP on the HDD is having all the orignal system hardware profile and configuration.

remove the HDD and install on the other PC, xp will show BSOD, sometimes safe mode may work.
This is because XP is more hardware components binding OS.

Hope this helps!
