Just wanted to thank everyone for their help on Friday. I managed to get WinXP up and running on Saturday with a fairly painless Repair Install using that OEM WinXP disk. The only problem I had was that I had no network functionality when everything came up (I use a cable modem).
So, Comcast (believe it or not) got a tech out to me Sunday morning to check out the network. Turns out the problem was caused by the McAfee ViruScan / McAfee Guardian installation on my HDD, and, once those were uninstalled, all was well. (A good tip from the other thread for anyone else out there moving a HDD over to a new system--take out any antivirus or firewall programs if you encounter network problems).
So, once I figure out my two remaining problems (Floppy drive doesn't seem to recognize disks I put into it, and mobo doesn't recognize my DVD-ROM drive), everything's a go.
