Question about 'Making Sure the Correct HAL is Installed'

I have a question about Making
Sure the Correct HAL is Installed:
I had a Pentium III 733 Mhz with a Soyo motherboard running on WinXP Pro when I decided
to upgrade to my current Pentium 4 with an Intel motherboard. But I didn't change
anything else, so I just bought a new case and put everything there, including my
hard drives with WinXP running. After that, WinXP won't start from the HD, it says
"disk boot failure, please insert a bootable CD" or something like that. So I have
to boot every time with the WinXP CD on my CD-ROM drive, and Windows starts (from
the HD!). I think maybe it's a problem concerning the wrong HAL, because when I replaced
the harddisks to my old Pentium III it booted up fine. Question is: how to correct
it without losing all my applications installed and having to reinstall EVERYTHING?
I've tried to repair the currently installed copy of Windows, but I still have the
same problem.
Thanks in advance!
