Hey Robert,

What I meant was that you can do a clean install of WinXP in a new VM 
that you create using VM Manager. If you need to access files on the old 
HD then mount it some place i.e. /mnt/WinXP... then make that mount 
point accessible through the new VM. You can mount it like a D:/ drive 
on the new WinXP VM and then copy whatever files you want from it.

When I needed to access a special file from my WinXP VM I made a DOS 
disk image with the VM Manager then mounted it though loopback to place 
the file there and retrieve it after editing in WinXP. I then made the 
new disk image accessible as a D:/ drive to my WinXP VM. Worked slick.
