Is the drive a bootable WinXP and you intend it to be bootable on tower? Or
do you just want to copy over files? If the former, you realize that you
will need to run a Repair installation for the system to run on the tower?
If the system is XP SP2 and your installation disk is SP1 or earlier, you'll
need to make a slipstreamed installation disk. Then again, the original
being a laptop, the system may not work on a tower at all. Most laptops XP
installations (factory installed) are "BIOS locked" and won't work on any
other hardware except the kind they're locked to.
