Well I've bought all the bits now, and the thing's built up.
Oh man! What a carry-on trying to get XP installed on the SATA drive. Apparently I need to take the CD that came with the motherboard, and copy the SATA drivers on to four floppy disks. I then need to buy a floppy disk drive for the new machine, and install the drivers so that the XP installer can see the SATA drive.
So there goes my nice new 'clean' PC sans old technology!
