Answer:
1. Yes. 2. Sort of, WinXP should recognize all the new hardware (except SATA, you need a CD with SATA drivers for XP to install them). You would also need to change/add a boot menu since XP doesn't know that it is no longer on the primary drive. Some stuff (shortcuts, registry entries) will be pointing to the wrong drive, but that's easily corrected.
