If I upgrade from the system in my sig to an AMD 64, new Mobo, GPU, and RAM, can I just put in my current Hard Drive and use it? I dont want to have to spend money on a new HDD and XP disk.
 
yes it'll work as a drive

If your asking can you just build the system and stick the drive in and turn it on and it'll boot and run, with no need for a reload, thats iffy?...

Actually I've found if you remove your old hardware and don't change chipsets on your motherboard you should be fine. in other if you change your motherboard you'll have to re-install everything. If you don't change motherboards you should be fine.

If you change the motherboard (that has a different chipset) you'll be greeted w/ a nice BSOD windows 2k/xp style :)
