Default repairing windows XP NEED HELP

i really need some expert help here....

so there i was, moving my 200gb Hdrive with WXP installed to a new case
and motherboard when it stops working, detected but not starting
up....black screen - flashing cursor - so i install a new WXP onto a
clean drive and get that working on the computer....now i can see that
my old drive is there - all the files intact - just that the startup of
windows is corrupt on it...

my question is, how do I..

A: transfer all my setting from the old corrupt windows install to my
new WXP.....OR
B: repair the old WXP to work again

thanks in advance for your help

Remove your 200Gb HD with the old O/S and change the jumpers to master.
Format and change the jumpers on the newer HD so that it becomes the
slave.
Place both drives back in the case.
Perform a recovery install of XP to your old 200Gb HD.

Once your old XP has been repaired you can utilize the backup utility
Ethel039 is talking about.
