Can a hard drive with XP installed be used with a new Mobo?

Hey,

I have a functioning computer that is getting slower all the time. I was thinking of building a new system by buying a new mobo and cpu etc. I was wondering if I installed the hard from the old computer if the XP operating system would work? Anyone ever tried it?
