Boot harddrive in another computer

Hey, can I boot my harddrive in another computer with a different configuration? Assume I use windows XP Professional.

Will the system crashes because of that?
 
You can. It won't be particularly pretty. With XP and that much new hardware you're probably going to have to reregister it. Then, as soon as Windows loads it's going to start detecting all the new hardware, trying to install drivers and telling you to reboot to finish the installation. If you get a problem, it will probably happen here if something in your old config has an issue with the new hardware. Otherwise you should eventually get all the hardware setup and then you should get a clean boot.
 
Rayster described the scenario pretty well.

I'm wondering why you would want to do this, trying to preserve an XP installation?
Is this what product activation hath wrought?
