Oops, my bad - the XP box is SATA, not IDE.
So it looks like I'll need to get an external IDE to USB adapter or enclosure... and the old-tech stores close in ten minutes. (No way am I trusting this to Best Buy.) I'll have to go shopping tomorrow. (Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow...)
On the up-side, I have the drive out of the 2K box - it's a Maxtor D740X-6L, and the jumper settings are printed right on the drive case. (Yay Maxtor!)
Edit: Hmmmmm... I think I can set the XP box to boot from USB... but should I risk it?
Re-edit: Not going to risk it. I found someone who's willing to lend me an IDE-to-USB cradle.
