Hya,
There is a way, but only if the chip-sets of the two machines are the same.
First do a small install on the new machine just to see if the ACPI is the same as on the old machine. If it isn't, create a new hardware profile on the old machine, boot from that hardware profile, and change the ACPI to be the same on the new machine. Do NOT reboot!!!
Now look at this article /http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q271965 and do like it says. I know it's for Windows 2000, but it works fine on Windows XP too.
Now make that image again, and restore it on the new machine. Everything would be fine, the machine will find all it's new hardware and that's that.
What goes wrong mostly in these situation are the ACPI system and the Boot Controller (IDE controller). The first is handled manualy, the second by the MERGEIDE.REG that was imported. If your sure the ACPI system is Identical, you might even try only importing the MERGEIDE.REG like the technet page suggests.
Hopes this helps.
