You might have problems making XP work on a new machine. It is very possible that you wont be able to find all the drivers you need to make the new machine work correctly.

As for the partition you mentioned, can you not see it in Windows Explorer? Many new PC's have a partition that stores all the restore data to return your PC to its new state if things get messed up.

This was done in XP as well on most new machines.
