Where am I again?

I recently built my first confuser. Everything went very well as hardware goes. Even the software load up went well... I loaded XP onto a newly formatted 20GB HD I had and everything went smooth. Now I wanted to put my 160GB already existing HD into the new build, but I get the flash of blue screen of death, then a reboot F8 window asking what mode to boot in. The actual question I have is this:
I want to keep all the settings, folders, profiles, etc... that are on the 160GB, but would I be able to do a fresh load of XP on an already existing one, but not get rid of any extras... I know I'll have to redo a lot of settings in windows, but I'm afraid I'll lose all my other items if I do this. Kind of like doing a hard recover. It'll bring everything back to factory specs so to speak and I want to avoid that. any help would be MUCH appreciated!
Thanks,
