It sounds like your new computer has a SATA drive while the old one has an IDE drive. Get a hard drive enclosure -- you put the old HD inside, plug it into a USB port, and you've got an external backup drive.

windows xp doesnt see your hard drive because two thousand has no digital programming...one of microsofts little boobytraps. all you have to do is transfer all the old files onto a disc with a writer and install them in xp. its complicated but can be done.
