Any time you move XP to a PC with significantly different hardware, you must phone Microsoft and get it reactivated.

You could post your question in an MS XP forum: http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx

try here it tells you how to restore a damaged or missing profile

Might help in your case, But I think that you have got to bite the bullet and do a complete format and install from scratch.
