	Andrew:

boot from you windows install disk, find the repair console where you
get a C\: prompt and enter

fixmbr

That will restore your mbr to standard XP

Note that you may likely have to reload Windows on the new machine
unless it has similar motherboard, memory buses, graphics etc. ass
windows will only install drivers for the hardware it sees at install.

Hope this helps
