That totally depends on whether your XP cd came with your old system or not.

Do you have an installation disc of XP?

Some versions of Windows are licensed to a specific PC and the license is not transferable. Licenses that came with pre-installed generally are not.
If you have the installation CD, just reformat the old PC and then install on the new one. You may have to call MS to authenticate it.
